A close look at some blossoms (after some wind) along the edge of Rainbow Road.
Leap Day
Every four years our calendar has a leap year because the Earth orbits the Sun in 365.242 days. 2016 is a leap year with 366 days so today—February 29th—is a leap day. But wait there’s more as that doesn’t add up:
Just adding a day doesn’t quite tweak the calendar; it’s still off by a few minutes. So, “leap years occur in years divisible by four, except for those divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400. Confusing enough for you? In effect, that means that 97 out of every 400 years are leap years, including the century years 1600 and 2000 but NOT 1700, 1800 and 1900.”*

A February Morning at Fernwood Pier
6:30 a.m. Fernwood
There was thick fog, as in 10 metre visibility, along the road to the Fernwood area this morning. But the ocean was fog free and quiet. The geese though were horrendously loud; folks along North Beach Road must have somehow gotten used to the daily alarm.

Sun Dance
Caught this guy playing with his shadow on the living room wall. He hasn’t had much chance to do that lately. Welcome back sun.
Winter Salt Spring Splendor
This somewhat unofficial trail—and by unofficial I mean it’s not marked and you have to hunt for it—is at the very end of Isabella Point Road then left to the end of Maxam Road. And, if you live on the north end of the island (what we used to call 537) you better pack a lunch for the roadtrip there. On the plus side, Cameron and I saw no one, heard only the stream nearby and the soft landing of light rain. The winter wetness illuminated the green of the moss of Mount Tuam Ecological Reserve…
