2:30 pm on the banks of the lower playing field at Gulf Islands Secondary School
Lots to learn looking at this photo I think.
(this student is clearly focused on her scholarship applications, my presence was accepted—which makes my task easier)

One Year Ago
One year ago, the world looked very different on Salt Spring Island. So don’t take those snow tires off just yet (that’s presuming you actually put them on…)
Here’s the SaltSpringPhotos.com post from one year ago today:
Yesterday snow was coming down and gently painting the world white. We sat around the fire, watched the Olympics and pretended it was a snow day.
Today, in our neck of the woods it’s a real live snow day with almost 30 cm of the heavy stuff, trees bending and occasional power fluctuations. Love it—a gold medal weather day!
Fernwood Sky
An interesting morning sky, with a very brief moment of delightful colour.
And only one other person enjoying the sight (with a camera, on the dock).
I wonder if that type of cloud over Galiano has a name…
Gulf Islands Triptych
Three images which show part of the view from a south Salt Spring ‘cottage’ were commissioned last fall and will soon hang in the client’s home.
The images will be printed in high resolution black and white, likely 24 x 16 inches each, and mounted on aluminum (as imagined above) for a crisp aesthetic as the dominant feature of a main living area.
A fourth image (also part of the view), taken just after sunset with Swartz Bay and Sidney in the foreground and extending to Mount Rainier, was also provided.
(here is the center image, quickly converted to black and white)
On a somewhat related note:
Congratulations to a pair of daily viewers from the Seattle area who have recently hung a beautifully framed, limited edition print of ‘Sunrise Swans’ in their lovely home. Thanks for supporting SaltSpringPhotos.com!
Don’t Count Your Chickens
I popped by Florence Roberge’s a couple of days ago and saw a ‘head and shoulders’ portrait of a chicken.
It was 5 or 6 feet tall!
I really liked the ‘quick sketch’ as is and took the above snapshot.
I thought this was a great finished piece. The huge scale was amazing and the black and white ‘sketch’ would look great in a lot of places.
Yesterday I was by again on business and grabbed another snapshot (below) of the same piece. Quite the transformation.
I don’t believe it’s spoken for yet. If you’ve got just the right spot, give Florence a shout (website)!
