I’m told this is a certified organic crop of Nugget and Cascade hops used in Saltspring Island Ales.
Reflection at Sunrise
A woman watches the July sunrise from Fernwood Beach. The trees along North Beach Road are reflected in the warm morning light.
I like this image uncropped as above. But there’s a saying, “Get closer, then get closer again.” Below, the area above the beach has been cropped out:

Jack Foster Trail
The Jack Foster Trail is in the Southey Point area (on the North end of the Island!), just off North End Road. It’s and interesting trail, often damp, that leads down through the temperate rainforest to a long shell beach on Trincomali Channel. The view is towards Wallace, Galiano and the Secretary islands.
Because it’s North facing, it’s a good spot on a warm summer morning. Also, at a very low tide there’s lots of exploring west on the beach and around the corner…
With the help of the Salt Spring Island Foundation, a group of volunteers from the Salt Spring Trail and Nature club have almost completed a new set of stairs to the beach. Looks like they’re having a bit of a battle with the vegetation.
A Boy and his Dog
A boy revs up his dog for a rambunctious romp on Chesterman Beach.
It’s the far limits of a day trip from Salt Spring Island, but if you leave on the first Vesuvius ferry you can be there around 10:30. Stay until late afternoon and make it back, happily exhausted, via a late ferry. Sometimes you just have to heed the call of the West Coast…
