East Point Deer

A healthy young Black Tail Deer at East Point, Saturna Island.
This time of year, mid-week and early evening, a person pretty much has East Point to themselves. It was great to have a bit of company, wary as he was.

Ferry Tail

Orca with Prevost and Salt Spring Islands in the background.

I know lots of people seem to see whales from the ferry. Finally it was my turn. These are shot late in the day from the back of the boat as we stayed well clear of the Orcas. The middle and right images below were taken far, far, far from the boat. Still, it’s a representation at least, of some of their antics.

Off the Beaten Track

One down at the entrance to the first trail

While heading out to do a little off-road exploring on the weekend (just across the pond, on Vancouver Island) we happened upon a group of jeeps. Things got interesting right away. We soon left them and headed up a rough narrow trail towards a secret spot. What was a dusty trail a week ago had now become a river bed. Made for an exciting journey. Water was running off all the side hills and rock faces. Lots of waterfalls and raging streams. A large reservoir, low a week ago was suddenly full. Nice to see after months of drought! On the way over to the west coast we crossed some streams that had flooded the trails. At one we came upon the group of jeeps again—just in time see a little Suzuki Sidekick get swept off the trail but the rushing water. One brave soul waded in with a winch strap and the Sidekick was pulled to more solid ground then bailed out.
