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?
Gulf Islands View
Here’s another Saturday home. We’re looking (from Salt Spring) through Captain Passage with Salt Spring on the left, Prevost on the right and Galiano in the background. And Vancouver behind the clouds. This is a small portion of the upper deck of a two-deck home on a 25 acre estate now on the market (for less than a knock-down in Vancouver…).
Navigating the First Hole
1:00 p.m. at the Salt Spring Golf Course
In the driving rain, a Mallard duck and two Canada Geese enjoy a swim on one of their newly discovered lakes. Another goose performs maintenance and fertilization. Welcome to the Salt Spring Island Golf and Country Club.
(I’ll be donating my time the next four days to the Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts (GISPA) as part of my business cause: performing arts at Gulf Islands Secondary. I will have little or no time to do anything else so it’s likely that the next post will appear on Friday, March 18th)
