7 a.m. and Ganges is still a little sleepy in the blue pre-dawn light. A bus turns the corner near Mouat’s Home Hardware. I wonder how many riders are on this trip?
The Crossing
The BC Ferry, Howe Sound Queen, coming from Crofton on Vancouver Island nears Vesuvius on Salt Spring Island. On a good day the boat makes 13 round trips.
Equinox
On this first day of Spring, I was looking for an equinox image for our pals at National Geographic. And somehow I ended back at my new favourite Salt Spring Island mountain stream. In the rain this time.
I had expected there to be more flow in the stream, after seeing the torrent nine days ago. And I didn’t expect to see any of the iridescent green moss left either. I like the new cleaned-up, wet look and I think this it the best image yet. It seems more alive and vibrant.
Sometimes you need to work at a photograph until you get it right. Now I’m wondering what it might look like in moonlight or after a decent snow…
Any thoughts?
Aerial Circus at SIMS
Two ‘Circus’ students mid way through a routine in the Salt Spring Island Middle School gym. The feet of the bottom girl (also hanging below the girl pictured) are helping support the girl we’re looking at. Both are relying on the blue fabric to keep them from crashing down on the mats. Circus is one of the exploratory classes at the school this year.
If you want to feel old and creaky, just watch these two for a minute.
Downpour
It was gusting 101 km/h at 6:00 am this morning and, as expected when you live in the trees, there were power outages. And buckets of rain. Our rain barrels filled once per hour for about six hours. Then the rain stopped, the sun broke through the clouds, and I dealt with the carnage on the driveway.
