Winter View from Mount Erskine

January 10, 2016

Mt. Erskine in snow and fog

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.

Senior Boys Basketball at GISS

GISS Senior Boys Basketball

The locals looked good on the court. But not as good on the scoreboard. Next time…

Sea Fog Sunrise

January 3, 2016

Sea Fog

8:12 a.m. to 8:13 a.m.

I’m liking the way 2016 is shaping up. This is three out of three days with fine morning light. With a layer of frost and some sea fog today. But above zero at sunrise. The sun seemed to suddenly hop up out of the sea. Then, a minute later, it slid up to disappear behind the clouds. Shortest sunrise on record. But superb show.

Snow in the Temperate Rainforest

December 29, 2015

Mount Maxwell Forest Snow

11:57 a.m. in the Mount Maxwell forest

Snow and fog on the upper half of the mountain. Then at the top, kids with sleds and parents with hot drinks.
And one very happy Westie.

The Island in St. Mary Lake

December 24, 2015

The Island in St. Mary Lake

With the island now under water, I think it’s safe to say the drought of 2015 is over.
It’s time to start building home systems to capture and store winter and spring rains for summer use.

Merry Christmas everyone!
