Nature’s composition
Along a southern shoreline, lovely layers add interest to a morning walk. The dry grass is a concern this time of year.
May Long Weekend Soccer on Salt Spring
Salt Spring Island sinks a bit lower each year on ‘May Long’. One hundred sail boats with crews upwards of 20 plus the huge invitational soccer tournament, plus art show openings, plus the Saturday Market, plus the great weather…well, you get the picture—it’s fun busy. But not fun parking in Ganges ;-)
Round Salt Spring 2015 at Southey Point
1:35 pm Round Saltspring Island Sailing racers approach Southey Point. (curiously positioned at the north end of the Island)
The event has attracted about 100 boats for many years. The course is about 42 miles around Salt Spring Island (for a crow); sailboats of course go much farther than that depending on wind direction, wind strength and even the tides and currents.
This year, the super-fast catamaran Dragonfly flashed across the finish line at 6:14 pm. An hour or so later many of the faster boats were also back for dinner on the docks.
Welcome
Fresh Daisies
On our morning walk in the highlands yesterday, Cameron and I were looking to see if a first Daisy had reared it’s pretty head. And this little bunch was first up, just in time for Mother’s Day.
This is an iPhone snapshot; wasn’t sure it would work—even for the web—as the flowers were doing a little dance in the wind.
Life is Good!
For those of you not currently living on, or visiting Salt Spring Island, we’ve been having summer-like weather lately. So summer-like that just around the corner from this scene were some naked human seals— jumping into the icy ocean water and splashing about.
