A spring day in Ganges with a look at the Coastal Mountains. There’s lots of space this time of year at the marinas, but that will soon change.
A Clear Day on the Island
Fishing a Reflection
Fishing St. Mary Lake (electric motors only).
Which more than makes sense, especially when your drinking water comes from this lake. Water on this island is a huge concern, one that was highlighted in last year’s drought.

*note: for those of you who visit the site each day, there will likely be a few days without new posts. I’ll be taking the time to transition between computer systems.
Salt Spring Library at Moonset
Looks like the local library has gone another step in an effort to protect the public and discourage skateboarders from riding the concrete retaining walls and metal handrails. That’s a new custom fence (on the left above the steps) which curves around the concrete planters. Before the fence was there, it was possible to walk or skate along the planter walls. And it was easy to topple ten feet or more to the bottom of a flight of concrete steps against the building.
Gulf Islands Morning
This photograph could be titled ‘Waiting for the sunrise which didn’t happen’. Well, it did slowly get brighter, but there was no blast of colour in the clouds. It was however, an unusually tranquil morning; virtually silent with no road, water or air traffic. Lovely.
Easter Weekend Afternoon
Sometimes we forget how good we have it here on the Island.
Cameron, who is on the injured list, has been moping around and was due for an interesting walk. But because of his ‘sports injury’, the usual mountain hikes were out. He’s a big fan of the intertidal zone though, so we headed out for a short beach walk. But I had forgotten it was the busiest weekend of the year. Fernwood Café was packed inside and out. There were cars on the side of the road, people walking on the road and people out on the Pier.
Five minutes down the beach, we met one person (knitting). Cameron reported there most excellent smells everywhere. And the photo above was our view. One person walking on the pier.
So, in the middle of a sunny afternoon on the busiest weekend of the year—not that crowded after all. Pretty good, even by Island standards.
