Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
The roots of this fir tree were entering the septic system and had to go. Thomas came by to take it down and to do some dangerous tree maintenance on the other side of the property.
Here’s an animation of Thomas using the bucket truck and guiding this 200 lb piece of Arbutus to the ground:
Hello November.
Some rain, some wind, and suddenly the ground is covered with leaves.
Lots of yellow on a wet grey Salt Spring Island day.
A little rain is nothing to an intrepid Beaver floatplane.
Not many weeks ago the playing fields at Gulf Islands Secondary were parched, devoid of grass and prepared for a rebirth. The SD64 grounds crew will continue to baby the fields for a few more months and then set the fields free to the not-so-patiently waiting hoards. It looks like it will be worth the wait.
