Some folks don’t seem to get it.
They don’t seem to understand that when building a new home, a few trees may have to come down. Did for my house and, I’m willing to bet did for your house too.
On the other hand, this area, very near the beautiful Mt. Erskine trails off Collins Road, seems a bit more than excessively deforested.
I just don’t get it.
Musings:
Thanks to the woman who volunteered to give some scale to this photo.
Normally I try to stay on the half-full side of things for the daily Salt Spring Island photo. Perhaps to a fault. So, when travelling by, half an hour after sunset, I couldn’t resist the challenge of capturing this image. Thanks to Dan for pointing out that the clearcut is clearly visible from the 300 block of Elizabeth Drive.

A red canoe happily resting in a barn along Upper Ganges Road. (yes, there is also a Lower Ganges Road on Salt Spring Island)
I notice that the red canoe has faded; why does red seem to fade so much faster that other colours?
Tomorrow’s Salt Spring photo is a bit different. Thanks Dan for the head’s up. See you tomorrow…

A stunning morning view across Salt Spring Island towards Maple Bay and Duncan on Vancouver Island.

Fernwood Pier, Salt Spring Island on a quiet and early August morning. The tide was running strong as the sun lit up the dock’s red railing.
