Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
This view is from the back side of Old Baldy Mountain looking west over the southern half of Shawnigan lake. We’re not at the top yet and this flat spot is a great place to take a photo (aka stopping to catch your breath) as the hike is a steep one. The main vista, from the top is east over the Gulf Islands.
Even though there’s normally a lot more water in this river at this time of year, it’s still a great place to cool off on a hot day. There are interesting rocks to explore, some deep pools and some shady areas.
Dunbabin Park Rain Forest Trail on the ‘north end’ (Salt Spring Island)
Cool shade on a warm summer day. And a moment for quiet reflection. If you have time to do that.
Late day view out the camper window while parked alongside the Koksilah River.
Out another window was a very large black bear walking towards us down the middle of the logging road. Fortunately he/she headed off on a trail away from where we’d stopped.

The hay is cut, dried, bailed and ready to roll into the barn.
