Leaf Art

May 30, 2016

Leaf Art
Art by Mother Nature, noticing and photographing by me.

I forgot about the interesting, mostly Arbutus, leaves that develop wonderful colours, patterns and ‘trails’. I created a substantial leaf image collection last fall then forgot about them.

So, here’s one.

Sandstone Sculptures at East Point

May 25, 2016

Sandstone at Saturna Island1

 

It’s a nature treasure hunt along this sandstone shoreline. I’m willing to bet you can’t limit yourself to a dozen photos the next time you visit this area and decide to take a few photos. I know I can’t. And I wouldn’t have been able to way back when there were just 12 frames per roll on 120mm film.

East Point, So Close but So Far

May 24, 2016

East Point, Saturna Island, BC

Saturna Island is one of my favourite getaway spots. It’s only 15 miles from Salt Spring but can be a very long and convoluted way via ferry. As in four or five hours.

And East Point is a wonderful place to explore, especially in the early morning and in the evening when you may be the only one there. On this recent morning, I was getting in one more photo walk along the shore before heading back to the ferry terminal for the 10:20 am boat to Swartz Bay.

Come back tomorrow for two more sandstone sculpture images from this shoreline.

Salt Spring Dawn Colours

May 15, 2016

Fern wood's Dawn Colours
5:38 am at Fernwood Pier
Although the sun had technically risen, from Fernwood Beach, it hadn’t yet risen above Galiano Island. So this area was still in a twilight state.

In my mind’s eye the dock railings are a bright ‘government-dock’ red. They started that way but haven’t been repainted for a few years. A closer look in daylight confirms the railings are a faded, almost pinkish-red colour now.
