Chemainus River

Day trips seem to be (happily) creeping into my life once again. I knew they were there, just lurking under the surface.
Part business, part household errands—the day’s list was checked off early. So there was a slight detour on the way home from Duncan on Vancouver Island. This, and other photos are the result. This particular image can be printed very large with more detail than can been seen on the best of screens.

Fishing a Reflection

Fishing on a Reflected St. Mary Lake

Fishing St. Mary Lake (electric motors only).
Which more than makes sense, especially when your drinking water comes from this lake. Water on this island is a huge concern, one that was highlighted in last year’s drought.

*note: for those of you who visit the site each day, there will likely be a few days without new posts. I’ll be taking the time to transition between computer systems.

Last Light at Fernwood

Last Light at Fernwood

The last bits of light last night. The colour was strong but only for about a minute (and was missed by the folks who left 10 minutes early :-) then became quite dark with dull greys a couple of minutes later. So the first three and the last two (30 second) exposures were recycled.

In case you are wondering:
Was it really this colour? Yes. (depending on what your monitor is showing you)
Was it really this dark? Yes. (we used a flashlight getting off the beach)
Why do the water and sky look ‘dreamy’? It’s a 30 sec. exposure; the clouds and water are moving so those areas look (intentionally) soft.
