Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
We made a quick stop on the Howe Sound Queen after leaving Vesuvius. The crew rapidly deployed the rescue boat and sped off to aid a…wait for it…
jet ski.
Good practice and fun for the crew (who clearly know what they were doing) and a good show for the passengers.
Chesterman Beach near Tofino on a golden spring evening.
One set of clouds sailed by just as the sunset was warming up. I think it adds visual interest.
And the view at your feet (photo below) was lovely with the reflected gold of the sky.
And it sounded and smelled great.
Just a wonderful place for a body and mind tune-up.
*Today’s post is tagged with ‘Daytrip’ though perhaps an ‘Off-Island’ tag needs to be started. So yes, you can get to this spot (from Salt Spring Island) and back in a day, but if you stay for the sunset this time of year, there’s no way you’re making the last ferry. But then again, you really should stay for a couple of days…
Oh, and by the way, ‘tags’ on websites just help you search for all the posts with that tag. So clicking on the ‘Daytrip’ on the bottom right of the page will find all the ‘Daytrip’ pages for you.
Early morning on Trincomali Channel
A peaceful dawn from Fernwood pier looking east towards Walker Rock, Galiano Island and Active Pass.
The sliver of moon, Walker Rock and the moon’s reflection are lined up. Can you see them? (tough at this size)
Stunning sunrise courtesy of some great clouds, a mountain and the Pacific Ocean.
1 p.m. hiking along the Coast Trail in East Sooke Park
This has to be one of the most scenic places to hike on southern Vancouver Island. And it’s actually a short drive from Salt Spring Island. We travelled from the park to the Crofton Ferry Terminal via Humpback Road and the Malahat in about 75 minutes.
