Tumbo Island

May 18, 2016

Tumbo Island
8:30 p.m. Looking at the southeast shore of Tumbo Island, part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve

That’s a deer silhouette just beyond the last tree on the point.

Then behind, on the mainland, there’s a jet (which I’m pretty sure you won’t see at web size) above the clouds over the pointed peaks of the ‘Lions’.

Oregon Grape Colour

May 6, 2016

Dry Leaf
A small treasure from our morning dog walk through the forest. The forest seems very dry for this time of year and many of the Oregon Grape leaves are brightly coloured like this one.

Cameron thought I might like to photograph it on a piece of white paper placed on the deck. Good idea. But he was fast asleep before I was finished…

Industrial Art by the Ferry Terminal

Art by the Ferry Terminal

If you’ve spent time waiting at the Vesuvius Terminal—and who hasn’t—you’ve probably watched the light play on this artwork. If not, be sure to check it out. In this photo though we’re looking through the cutouts in one of the metal fence panels and seeing bits of a building behind.

We often credit architects for ‘seeing’ the sightlines inside a building before the building has, well, been built. I wonder if the same is true in this case? Did the metal fabricator plan this see-through effect?

Hiking the Dunbabbin Trail, Salt Spring Island
A newborn Maple makes a valiant effort to grow amoung the ancient Cedars.

This short rainforest trail is currently struggling with the effects of substantial tree cutting on both neighbouring properties. And beavers continue to put their stamp on the west end of the trail, occasionally flooding the bridge and the low section of trail.

Morning Civil Twilight Colours

May 1, 2016

Twilight Colours

The sky colours are more intense during civil twilight*  than they are after sunrise, as shown in the above photo taken from Fernwood Pier.

There’s a beam of light in the sky and reflected in the water; apparently this is called a sun pillar. And to the right, an aging condensation trail from a high flying jet.
