Salt Spring Air’s de Havilland Beaver C-FZZJ makes a last-light approach into Ganges Harbour.
ZZJ looks great against the sunset-illuminated clouds.

Happy Halloween.
Looks like we’ll have at least one group of tiny trick-or-treaters at our house this year. Haven’t seen one at the door in a decade!

With all the wet stuff coming down lately I thought there’d be more ‘rushing’ in this rainforest stream. But hey, we’re* just entering November, the start of the long dark wet season.
*(well those of us not heading south for six months of sunshine and sand… :-)

I’m not a fan of shootouts to determine a winner in a game. Too much stress all around. And I’m sure glad I’m not the goal keeper in a soccer shootout.
In this senior high school game the game ended in 1 – 1 tie. And the shootout went on a long, long time.
The photo above shows the local team racing toward their keeper after the shootout save that ended the game.
From my vantage point above and behind the goal, I noticed what I assume are senior girls. It was fun to watch their faces with each shot during the shootout. The two photos below describe the final two shots from each team:
