Much of Salt Spring Island’s water comes from this lake. Certainly a resource worth protecting.
And the changing view is priceless.

If I had a regular morning commute, my route would pass this ever-changing scene on St. Mary Lake.
Much of Salt Spring Island’s water comes from this lake. Certainly a resource worth protecting.
And the changing view is priceless.

I think this is often the best time of day.
The dark about 45 minutes before the sun rises.
Peaceful, solitary, stunning.

A Bufflehead duck swims through the pinks and blues of an early morning sky.

Two boys, oblivious to the late November afternoon chill, are fishing from Fernwood Dock.
Somehow they also nab a good sized crab and immediately each produces a smartphone to over-document the event.

Last Friday saw the first frost of the season at the marinas and docks in Ganges. And the beginnings of a low layer of fog (caused by the difference between sea and air temperatures) over the water. For the next month or so, the sun rises straight into Ganges harbour making early winter mornings very special.
