It’s that time

May 9, 2016

'campground'
1:05 p.m. San Juan Beach
It’s that time of year: short excursions exploring the areas around Salt Spring Island. And, as previously mentioned, often without any kind of internet connection. Which is a good thing I think. But this means there will be more frequent interruptions in postings on this website though October.

This is San Juan Beach, at Port Renfrew. The beach is well exposed to the ocean and thus the pile-up of logs. The logs afford some protection from the wind—and great spots to enjoy the sun and read a book.

Below is a photograph of part of the beach. The camper is visible, but I’m not sure you can pick it out on every size viewing screen (1/3 in from the right and halfway down the image):

45 Degrees from Yesterday

May 2, 2016

Fernwood Morning
This image was made a couple of minutes after the one presented yesterday. The camera was rotated about 45 degrees to the right, away from the light. The sky is darker, but the light from the approaching sunrise is already much stronger (and is beginning to wash out the colour in the clouds). Details on the shoreline are beginning to appear.

Morning Civil Twilight Colours

May 1, 2016

Twilight Colours

The sky colours are more intense during civil twilight*  than they are after sunrise, as shown in the above photo taken from Fernwood Pier.

There’s a beam of light in the sky and reflected in the water; apparently this is called a sun pillar. And to the right, an aging condensation trail from a high flying jet.

Looking North along the Wild Pacific Trail

Looking North along the Wild Pacific Trail
What’s missing in the photo above is the warm spring sun on your skin and sound of distant waves crashing 10 or more meters into the sky.

Hiking the Wild Pacific Trail

April 27, 2016

Hiking the Wild Pacific Trail
It was a rare t-shirt weather couple of April days on the west coast—enough to entice us to stay one more.
Here during a hike along the Wild Pacific Trail, I stopped to watch the swells play through the shoreline rocks. Once again, time well spent!
