Spring Day
1:15 pm north Salt Spring
Spring time on a gorgeous north end Island property.
The same property last summer:
Spring
3:16 pm Gulf Islands Secondary School beside the soccer field
At first there was one. Actually working on her MacBook. Then another came along.
Depending what you are viewing this on, you might see a bee—above the bag/clothes/book and level with the girl’s shoulder. Perfect.

Candied Salmon
10 am in the studio
Today’s photo of the day is coming to you from the studio space where I spent my day yesterday. I thought you might find this first image interesting.
We were shooting images for a new line of packaging for SeaChange Seafoods, a long time Salt Spring company. Sean Carter of Carter Hales Design Lab flew in from Vancouver (with Salt Spring Air) to direct the shoot. Joining us for food preparation and styling was Korena Vine of Korena in the Kitchen. Korena grew up on Salt Spring and ferried over from Vancouver island for the day.
The components show the candied salmon in the foreground with the main ingredients softly behind: the raw sugar pile, the sea salt in an authentic Northwest Coast Native spoon, and an authentic Native woven bowl (native artifacts courtesy Pegasus Gallery).
The surface is a rustic antique table top from a Saskatchewan farm. The background is 1×6 rough cedar fence boards from Slegg Lumber treated with Lifetime Wood Treatment of New Denver.
This image will be used (with a ‘belly band’ partly over the bowl and sugar) as the front of the Candied Salmon package.
Ingredients:
British Columbia wild pink salmon, sugar, sea salt, soy sauce, spices, natural hardwood smoke
p.s.
Yesterday’s April 1st post, the house in Coal Harbour, is actually an art piece made mostly of aluminum by Liz Magor. It’s called Light Shed.
Reduce your Footprint
Looking to move up in real estate? Reliable connections tell me this small home, currently located in Coal Harbour is for sale and must be moved this month. This all natural cedar classic looks after itself. Perfect on Salt Spring in any location, even in the low areas; heck, put it over a stream or right in a pond!
A great starter home for a young couple. Or perhaps you just need some guest accommodation. This little home would be perfect for that too— but perhaps too perfect—your guests may never want to leave!
Contact me today for more information.
