While hiking, I came across an oceanside meadow of these flowers.

In a grassy area near the ocean’s edge.
Now that I’m getting out more, I’m seeing more.

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 ;-)

Garry Oaks and Douglas Firs reaching for the sky. A mid-island view.
And below, a life-size look at Garry Oak bark. Kinda has you reaching for the moisturizer.


It’s just a leaf.
I might have walked right by without noticing it last year.
But this year I find it interesting and special.
