At the beach.

The Pieris japonica blooms with cascading white flowers. But the new leaves then start as pink to scarlet red and really steal the show.

9:00 am Waiting for the Vesuvius Ferry
Shadows cast by the trees and the cutouts of the steel fence panels play on at the Seaside Kitchen walls.

Two for the price of one today. The photo above is from the Long Harbour ferry on the pyjama boat, no-stop-run looking towards Prevost Island and the soon-to-rise sun. A crisp, clear and stunning morning. Enjoyed outside by one crew member (anchor watch) and myself. And possibly the folks sipping their lattes inside the boat. We were heading to Vancouver. (Tsawwassen terminal).
The photo below is taken coming back aboard the Coastal Celebration (to Victoria (Swartz Bay) well after the sun dropped behind us.
Spectacular last day of February. Apparently February in these parts was one the warmest on record.

Meanwhile according to CBC onTwitter,”Toronto has endured coldest February since mid-1930s. Temperature in city not above freezing for 36 days.”

Salt Spring Island has interesting rock formations on several beaches. Rock on one side, Eagles and ocean and mountains on the other. Sort of a gallery walk…
