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’.

Salt Spring Dawn Colours

May 15, 2016

Fern wood's Dawn Colours
5:38 am at Fernwood Pier
Although the sun had technically risen, from Fernwood Beach, it hadn’t yet risen above Galiano Island. So this area was still in a twilight state.

In my mind’s eye the dock railings are a bright ‘government-dock’ red. They started that way but haven’t been repainted for a few years. A closer look in daylight confirms the railings are a faded, almost pinkish-red colour now.

Salt Spring Island House #73

Salt Spring Island House #73
Another lovely Salt Spring home with a killer view. Photographs taken at twilight often do a great job of conveying a home’s character.

Shoreline

May 13, 2016

Shoreline
One more from the Botanical Beach/Botany Bay series. This continues the walk around the headland and towards Botany Bay. Much of the beach here is flat, rocky and littered with tide pools and hundreds of species of plants and animals. But I find the shoreline with its raw, rough texture and limited colour palette captivating.

I’m thinking that the black and white conversion below might not translate well on some screens, but at full size, the texture and detail come alive here on a 5K screen:
