Going and Coming Back

March 1, 2015

Going to Vancouver

 

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.

Coming Back from Vancouver

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

Big Buddy

GISS Peer Tutor
Salt Spring Elementary School

Amongst the mayhem and madness of a late afternoon art project in an elementary school classroom…a lovely moment between a young student and a high school peer tutor. The capable and motivated older student had just demonstrated a technique to the younger student…who’s completely focused on giving it a try.

Scholarship Season

Scholarship Season

2:30 pm on the banks of the lower playing field at Gulf Islands Secondary School
Lots to learn looking at this photo I think.
(this student is clearly focused on her scholarship applications, my presence was accepted—which makes my task easier)

One Year Ago

February 24, 2015

One year ago, the world looked very different on Salt Spring Island. So don’t take those snow tires off just yet (that’s presuming you actually put them on…)

Here’s the SaltSpringPhotos.com post from one year ago today:

 

Snow on Salt Spring Island Feb 23, 2014

Yesterday snow was coming down and gently painting the world white. We sat around the fire, watched the Olympics and pretended it was a snow day.

Today, in our neck of the woods it’s a real live snow day with almost 30 cm of the heavy stuff, trees bending and occasional power fluctuations. Love it—a gold medal weather day!

Gulf Islands Triptych

February 22, 2015

Gulf Islands Triptych

Three images which show part of the view from a south Salt Spring ‘cottage’ were commissioned last fall and will soon hang in the client’s home.

The images will be printed in high resolution black and white, likely 24 x 16 inches each, and mounted on aluminum (as imagined above) for a crisp aesthetic as the dominant feature of a main living area.

A fourth image (also part of the view), taken just after sunset with Swartz Bay and Sidney in the foreground and extending to Mount Rainier, was also provided.

(here is the center image, quickly converted to black and white)

On a somewhat related note:
Congratulations to a pair of daily viewers from the Seattle area who have recently hung a beautifully framed, limited edition print of ‘Sunrise Swans’ in their lovely home. Thanks for supporting SaltSpringPhotos.com!
