Young parents and their learning machine.
The heavy overcast day is sometimes perfect for photographing people outdoors. The soft diffuse light on an overcast day eliminates the harsh shadows and glaring highlights we often see on bright sunny days.
Since cameras have a long way to go to achieve the dynamic range we see with our eyes, on ‘nice days’ we need to use reflectors, additional lighting, extensive image manipulation in post production…or just wait for a better (overcast) day.
‘Mainly cloudy this morning’. That’s a good thing.

Some days it’s best to enjoy the weather from inside.
Sunday lunch with local foods from Salt Spring Island. It’s getting easier to eat local on Salt Spring thanks to the Tuesday and Saturday markets, the farm stands, and from the retail stores that sell local foods.

I try hard not to look closely or learn much about these amazingly well designed things; it’s better that way.
