Random scenes

Through community garden connections I recently had an opportunity to tour the physics lab and the University Of Victoria.  I met a couple who work in the lab recently at a pot luck event at a new community garden in Victoria where they are gardeners.  She is one of two people who are trained to operate what is the worlds most powerful electron microscope.  Originally from Colombia, Christina operates the scope and her husband interprets the data.
