Swans at sunrise in Fulford Harbour.

In the flat blue light of a cold, overcast day I came across a scene of Alder trees along the edge of a frozen pond. There was incredible detail to be captured in all the branches. After a few edits, I settled on black and white to ‘focus’ attention on the details. And cropped the image to show just the trees. This looks fantastic on a thirty inch screen.
Here’s the full image:


Early winter afternoon view from high on southern Salt Spring Island. We’re looking over Portland and Moresby islands to the right and Pender Island (with Saturna Island behind) on the left. Mount Baker and the North Cascade Mountains are putting on a snowy show down there in the USA.
The ferry in front of Portland Island is heading for Swartz Bay (near Victoria) on Vancouver Island. And, in the foreground, the Skeena Queen is chugging along towards Fulford Harbour on Salt Spring Island.

Here’s a pond along the the side of the Mount Maxwell road seen during the last ‘cold’ spell. Hopefully we’ll see more of that soon!

A Ganges shed that I pass by regularly.
This door, lock and knob are beginning to show some character.
Would it be better to scrape off the old paint, paint and install new hardware? Or not?
