Ferry Time

May 16, 2016

Onboard the Queen of Nanaimo

These folks have lots of time as they watch Prevost and Salt Spring islands go by. They started in Tsawwassen, stopped at Galiano, stopped at Mayne, and will soon be stopping at Pender Island. And then they get to turn around and sail to Long Harbour on Salt Spring Island.

Salt Spring Dawn Colours

May 15, 2016

Fern wood's Dawn Colours
5:38 am at Fernwood Pier
Although the sun had technically risen, from Fernwood Beach, it hadn’t yet risen above Galiano Island. So this area was still in a twilight state.

In my mind’s eye the dock railings are a bright ‘government-dock’ red. They started that way but haven’t been repainted for a few years. A closer look in daylight confirms the railings are a faded, almost pinkish-red colour now.

Salt Spring Island House #73

Salt Spring Island House #73
Another lovely Salt Spring home with a killer view. Photographs taken at twilight often do a great job of conveying a home’s character.

Shoreline

Shoreline
One more from the Botanical Beach/Botany Bay series. This continues the walk around the headland and towards Botany Bay. Much of the beach here is flat, rocky and littered with tide pools and hundreds of species of plants and animals. But I find the shoreline with its raw, rough texture and limited colour palette captivating.

I’m thinking that the black and white conversion below might not translate well on some screens, but at full size, the texture and detail come alive here on a 5K screen:

Around the Corner

May 12, 2016

Around the Corner from Botanical Beach
Just around the corner from yesterday’s post.
Lots of action, intertidal creatures and countless tide pools.

cool ocean breeze, warm sunshine on your face, constant crashing surf sounds.
