Looks like a game of chess. But of course it could be something more.

Turns out that when you have an island, people tend to want to live on the edge.
And this home does that. And it checks a lot of boxes: 180 degree view, waterfront, all-day light, privacy, etc.
(the etc. includes a guest house, a huge shop with meeting room/studio, acres of forest and pasture; you know…lots of good stuff).

Near Mahon Hall: high school students survive local paparazzi on opening day.
The GISS Culinary Program have been impressive the last few years. Now they’ve opened the Salt Spring Salads food cart. And they have the fresh goods to back it up. The school garden, the hydroponic greenhouse, and the living lettuce wall (and I’m sure some things I don’t know about) are coming together to provide employment for students through the summer with proceeds funding culinary program projects back at the school. Check them out today (Saturday) at Mahon Hall.

South Beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve
I think part of the draw of the west coast is the never-ending sound the waves make as they relentlessly march up and across the sand and gravel beaches. When you take the first ferry from Vesuvius to Vancouver Island, you can be reading your book—in the sunshine at coffee time—on this beach. And I saw a couple doing just that. I took a few photos and left them—with the beach and this gorgeous spring weather—to themselves.
