Near Prevost Island.
Sailing is a popular, year-round pastime on Salt Spring Island.

12:25 pm just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Ganges:
Another spectacular winter day, this one hiking the trails around Mount Maxwell’s summit.

Cameron found this playmate at the veterinarian’s farm yesterday.
* update:
Thought I’d share this comment received via private email this morning, “Now you blew it! : > ) One day after Chinese New Years year of the sheep, you missed a great joke. And what’s with this dispute about whether its the year of the sheep or year of the goat? Both seem mentioned on wiki. Anyway for Salt Spring, either could not be more appropriate. Happy New Year John”

Yesterday I stumbled up this photo from way, way back while looking for images for a client. They are of course on Night Owl Farm, along the Fulford-Ganges superhighway. And of course they are often called ‘Oreo Cows’. But they are Belted Galloways and may be offended by being called Oreos.
And you wouldn’t want to be too offensive:

The black part of them looks a lot like the Black Angus my Dad had in Ontario. I wonder where the white oreo filling came from?
