Santa’s a busy guy. Good of him to fly to Salt Spring and take part in Christmas on Salt Spring.

Life is full of these short moments; the interaction of light and face remind us to keep observing.
This photo was taken at an all candidates meeting of school trustees. The girl in the photo is, I believe, a leadership student who was helping run the meeting. She looked down at her notes and into the light from the high windows of the multipurpose room.

A beautiful and telling face from the 2011 Remembrance Day ceremony on Salt Spring Island.
On a related and personal note, we recently lost our favourite veteran, Jim Green. Part of his story is in Friday’s Lives Lived column of the Globe and Mail.

The women’s Div 2 team played the first half short one player, but held the Castaways to a 0-0 draw. Injured high schooler Ashley Swinton “couldn’t watch anymore and decided to play through the pain for the second half”. Big difference; lots of scoring chances and a 1-0 win over the Castaways. The Salt Spring women remain in first place.
Above, Ashley beats her check and surprises the keeper with a scalding low shot to the bottom corner to score the game’s only goal.
*update: in her next game Ashley scored 5 goals.
