5:00 p.m.
Early darkness, a frost-covered float, clouds and fog over the lake.
Lovely and calm. Anyone fancy a swim?

Winter View from Mount Erskine
10:00 am, south of the Mount Erskine summit
Another day, another hike. This time on the Erskine Trails, with the marginally faithful Westie: Cameron.
The fog, frost and snow make it so quiet, peaceful and different from the usual view.
Caution required though as one step off that ledge takes you very quickly to forest floor many hundreds of feet below.
There are only so many mountains on a small island like Salt Spring. So it’s been mentioned and photographed before on this website. Quickly browse the other Erskine posts by typing erskine in the search box at the bottom of the website. Or, if you’re in a big hurry, just click here.
Fog Monster devours Fulford
I watched as the fog rolled through the Fulford valley, rising up the hills and ‘disappearing the trees’.
Bonus: Yes there is still some snow and frost at the summit of Mount Maxwell:
This is the Salt Spring Island equivalent of ‘Snow Pack’. Here today gone tomorrow. The good news however is that the Vancouver Island snow pack has rebounded to 100% of normal, half way through the snow season.
Fog Below
10:30 a.m. Mount Maxwell Lookout
Low cloud in Ganges, thick fog on lower Mount Maxwell but clear blue skies on top. There was a temperature inversion at the summit, rendering my winter clothes redundant. In this photo we’re looking northward across the giant fog pillows to Vancouver Island.
Behind the Dam
Late afternoon at the edge of a flooded field; behind a beaver dam.
