The Salt Spring United girls Silver Under 15 soccer team clobbered Juan de Fuca in the rain at Portlock Park yesterday.
Ganges Harbour January Sunrise
Enormous rising sun lights up clouds and mist in Salt Spring’s Ganges Habour on a January morning. Hopefully a bit of a pick-me-up for ‘Blue Monday’!
Slow Motion Landing
This duck landed much the way a floatplane does (or is it the other way around?). He slowed, put both wings out, extended his orange webbed feet, and in slow motion, gently skidded to a stop. And he did this just moments after a Beaver floatplane thundered away.
I watched him swim out into the reflection of the rising sun.
Frozen Backdrop
Cusheon Lake frozen in time, for a short time.
In colder times, years ago, Cusheon Lake on central Salt Spring Island was the occasionally the scene of a “never ending” hockey game. During a rare cold snap Saltspringers would dig in closets to find long forgotten skates and head to the big frozen pond. The lake might only be frozen for a few days, but no matter when you arrived, or when you came back, the game was on.
Sunrise Clouds
Fabulous clouds from a recent Saltspring sunrise.
Handful
Four Grade Nine girls perform in this semester’s Gulf Islands Secondary Dance Show at ArtSpring on Salt Spring Island. Instructor Sonia Langer has her hands more than full producing a show with approximately 50 teenage girls.
Salt Spring North to the Coastal Mountains
Early morning light suggested this unusual view across Salt Spring Island, Trincomali Channel, Georgia Strait, BC mainland to the distant Coastal Mountains.
