Recent foggy days have turned the ‘moss switch’ on. The trees and rocks seem to glow.

I took advantage of the dreary weather to explore a south Salt Spring Island trail. It turns out to be a gem—a fun walk through a cedar forest full of surprising things to look at while listening to the sounds of rushing streams and distant ocean activity. It would be a disservice to document all the creations—and spoil the surprise.

You can find out yourself if you’re on the Island. To get to the start of the trail: south on Beaver Point Road, left on Bullman, then right down Meyer to the end. Lots of parking at the turn around. It’s an easy, slightly downhill trail about one kilometre in length.
