This morning’s cool breeze introduced another spectacular August day on Salt Spring Island.

This image goes back some years. We’re revisiting it on Salt Spring Photos because the photo graces the cover of John Grain’s new book Mod’n Lavender: Salt Spring Island in the ’60s. John hopes to do a Salt Spring Island launch of the book some time in September. Look for a Gulf Islands Driftwood article and possibly a session at the Salt Spring Library.
August 16th Update from Salt Spring Library:

Book Launch: Mod ‘n Lavender: Salt Spring Island in the ’60s.
Author John Grain revisits teenage life on SS in the 1960s at the Salt Spring Library.
Can’t wait? I found a link to electronic and print copies here.
Author John Grain revisits teenage life on Salt Spring Island during the 1960s. “Salt Spring Island was the hub, the focal point of the counterculture in Canada and I had missed it,” says Grain.

A small piece of Arbutus bark has somehow been caught on a blade of grass.
Summer in Ganges Harbour
It’s like this in Ganges Harbour during the summer.
Here’s the story of what’s happened so far in this shot:
1. The Gulf Islands Water Taxi Scholarship (large aluminum boat; middle right) attempting to return to it’s dock space stopped to wait for the large sailboat to slowly complete it’s turn and leave (there was no room for the sailboat to tie up).
2. An inflatable dinghy cuts right across Scholarship’s bow, causing Scholarship to stop and reverse. (the dinghy will soon discover the dinghy dock is full)
3. A small runabout, seeing Scholarship stopped in the middle of the entrance decides to barge through too, pretty much in front of the sailboat now trying to escape the area.
