A beach a low tide can be a very different place. We get a chance to see what’s resting on the bottom when the water’s not there. Good thing to remember in a boat.

The sidewalk tables were crowded all Easter weekend at Mouat’s Clothing.
I hope this woman is not looking for the end of that scarf… It is a scarf, right?

This little guy was hanging out all day near the Gulf Islands Secondary garden and greenhouse with Chef Kilner. Not sure if he was there for the ‘Official Grand Opening of the GISS Garden and Greenhouse’ on Earth Day. If he was, he slept through most of it!

Thanks Gail for the heads-up and invite to come see the Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds. I hope to return soon and perhaps bring some light; these were shot in the quickly fading dusk at unfortunately high ISO (“film speed’ in the old days where 400 was a high speed film) I started at 6400 and quickly went to 128 000.
Quite an amazing sight and sound as these tiny birds flash around!


What better way to spend Earth Day, or any day, than discovering a new (to us) loop trail on the slopes of Salt Spring’s Mount Maxwell?
The trail above quickly entered old growth territory and became even more magical. The summit surprised us as it was partially enveloped in cloud. Particularly to the west and north.
