There’s Natasha reaching the ceiling in Salt Spring’s newest store. Kind of popped-up over night. Kinda of a store-so-small-if-you-blink-you miss-it.
Around Natasha is the Saltspring Soapworks’ downtown storefront, warehouse, lunchroom, checkout and office space. It’s a great little store with cool fixtures. And a swanky new website.
And soon you’ll be able to say it’s right beside the big hole where the library used to be.
Small town, big Canada Day fireworks show. Again this year.
Thanks to the sponsors, organizers and Salt Spring Island FIre/Rescue.
And there it sits. A spectacular little hand crafted outhouse. On Chocolate Island in Ganges Harbour. With a fabulous western view of the shell beach and islands into Ganges. Who knew?

Update, June 27 from Roz:
Yes, it was built by Micah Booy. He spends a lot of time on Third Sister Island, & became disgusted by the way people pooped all over the place, especially as the island is private, but the owner, instead of putting up No Trespassing signs, lets everyone go there, hang out on Chocolate Beach, & walk along the path that goes from one end of the island to the other. To thank him, Micah decided to remedy the situation, &, with considerable effort, dug a hole, & built that exquisite outhouse.
First, he asked my husband, Patrick, who has built several outhouses on the island with those distinctive proportions, if he could use his design. (Mica is a friend of Patrick’s son). When Patrick first saw what Micah had done, he said, “He has surpassed the master!”
My favourite shot from the Saltspring Challenge Cup soccer tournament. Lots of shots that may be better soccer images, but I keep coming back to this mens over 35 Alumni shot from the final.
A few images (most are unprocessed) from the tournament.
The crew of Mischief, tired after eight hours of racing, demonstrate a smooth tack in Trincomali Channel near Fernwood Dock. Mischief, a Melges 32 race boat with a handicap of 27, is skippered by Iain and Susanne Morris from the West Vancouver Yacht Club.
Mischief placed first (of 120 boats) in this year’s Round Saltspring 2011 sailing race.
