Twilight. Two photographs from the same beach.
But are these both morning photos, both evening photos, or one of each? Feel free to comment.

p.s.
We’ve seen also seen the view from this beach in a moment of stunning colour.

Low Tide Gathering

May 8, 2016

Low Tide Gathering at Fernwood on Salt Spring Island
Everyone seemed happy this Sunday afternoon, and these folks were no exception. Cameron particularly enjoyed the extra attention, especially from the pretty young woman who said, “A Westie, that’s the kind of dog I want!” I could tell Cameron was ready to abandon me on the spot, and probably would have if I hadn’t produced the bag of treats… Males—dogs especially—are so transparent.

Easter Weekend Afternoon

March 26, 2016

Beach Walk

Sometimes we forget how good we have it here on the Island.

Cameron, who is on the injured list, has been moping around and was due for an interesting walk. But because of his ‘sports injury’, the usual mountain hikes were out. He’s a big fan of the intertidal zone though, so we headed out for a short beach walk. But I had forgotten it was the busiest weekend of the year. Fernwood Café was packed inside and out. There were cars on the side of the road, people walking on the road and people out on the Pier.

Five minutes down the beach, we met one person (knitting). Cameron reported there most excellent smells everywhere. And the photo above was our view. One person walking on the pier.

So, in the middle of a sunny afternoon on the busiest weekend of the year—not that crowded after all. Pretty good, even by Island standards.

Yeo Point Beach Art

An all-weather subject.
The sand and surf have polished this old tree ‘bottom’.
