Gorgeous morning twilight colours. Solitude at the south end of Chesterman Beach.

Shoreline

May 13, 2016

Shoreline
One more from the Botanical Beach/Botany Bay series. This continues the walk around the headland and towards Botany Bay. Much of the beach here is flat, rocky and littered with tide pools and hundreds of species of plants and animals. But I find the shoreline with its raw, rough texture and limited colour palette captivating.

I’m thinking that the black and white conversion below might not translate well on some screens, but at full size, the texture and detail come alive here on a 5K screen:

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):

Oregon Grape Colour

May 6, 2016

Dry Leaf
A small treasure from our morning dog walk through the forest. The forest seems very dry for this time of year and many of the Oregon Grape leaves are brightly coloured like this one.

Cameron thought I might like to photograph it on a piece of white paper placed on the deck. Good idea. But he was fast asleep before I was finished…
