One Year Ago

February 24, 2015

One year ago, the world looked very different on Salt Spring Island. So don’t take those snow tires off just yet (that’s presuming you actually put them on…)

Here’s the SaltSpringPhotos.com post from one year ago today:

 

Snow on Salt Spring Island Feb 23, 2014

Yesterday snow was coming down and gently painting the world white. We sat around the fire, watched the Olympics and pretended it was a snow day.

Today, in our neck of the woods it’s a real live snow day with almost 30 cm of the heavy stuff, trees bending and occasional power fluctuations. Love it—a gold medal weather day!

Fernwood Sky

February 23, 2015

Fernwood Sky

An interesting morning sky, with a very brief moment of delightful colour.
And only one other person enjoying the sight (with a camera, on the dock).
I wonder if that type of cloud over Galiano has a name…

Sign of the Season on Salt Spring Island

February 20, 2015

Salt Spring Lamb

Standoff
Cameron found this playmate at the veterinarian’s farm yesterday.

* update:
Thought I’d share this comment received via private email this morning, “Now you blew it! : > )  One day after Chinese New Years year of the sheep, you missed a great joke.  And what’s with this dispute about whether its the year of the sheep or year of the goat?  Both seem mentioned on wiki.  Anyway for Salt Spring, either could not be more appropriate. Happy New Year John”

Sky Drama

February 18, 2015

February Sky

Some sky drama on our morning dog walk.
I wanted to remove the power/telephone/cable wires but Cameron said, “Don’t you dare; we’re all tired of you whining about them—they are part of the view so just leave them.”

Dangerous Cargo

February 17, 2015

Dangerous Cargo

On the BC Ferry pier at Crofton, heading back to Salt Spring Island

The big green Shamrock Fuels truck is coming off the ferry, having taken an earlier dangerous cargo ride over to Salt Spring.
The camera’s shutter speed was not fast enough to stop the motion of  truck in the foreground, hence a blur that hints at the feeling you get as the pier shakes a bit as tons of truck parts noisily accelerate by a couple of feet away.

Meanwhile, looking back through the side mirror of my wee truck, we see someone paying at the toll booth. And there’s Rick of noofoto fame bringing his own kind of dangerous cargo back to Salt Spring (in his school bus) from a skating trip on Vancouver Island.
