A silky start to another day on Salt Spring Island.
Still traffic light free.

Mouat’s Warehouse
Early morning light illuminates the well-worn corrugated metal on one of the old Mouat’s buildings in Ganges.
Roadside Close-up
Another morning dog-walk photo; one of the good things about having a dog. You get out there every day, even rainy days, and look around for a new photograph in a place you think you know.
Back in June 2011, I posted backyard photos for a week. Good exercise for those who take pictures. That’s everyone, right?
(I read somewhere that half the photos ever taken were taken in 2012.)
Soccer Dog
One of the big activities on Salt Spring on the May long weekend is always the Challenge Cup Soccer Tournament. This guy, apparently a rescue dog from New Delhi, India loves to be at the games and loves to try to chase motorcycles going by.
He seemed happy enough to have his portrait captured.
Round Salt Spring 2013
A most unusual sight. A very large fleet of spinnakers flying up Trincomali Channel. Since this year’s race took the course less travelled (Saltspring Island to PORT), and since the wind was decent and steady, the boats were within sight of one-another 45 minutes into the race. This photo was taken from Fernwood dock; the first boats, led by Mojo, were already between Fernwood and Southey Point.
This speedy J 109 seen doing a sail change above, was leading the fleet here at Nose Point and was still ahead as it turned the corner at Southey Point.
