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

Nature’s composition
Along a southern shoreline, lovely layers add interest to a morning walk. The dry grass is a concern this time of year.

I waited for this otter to get close (very close); he didn’t seem to know I was there. For him though, the sound of the camera shutter was like a starting gun!

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 ;-)

1:35 pm Round Saltspring Island Sailing racers approach Southey Point. (curiously positioned at the north end of the Island)
The event has attracted about 100 boats for many years. The course is about 42 miles around Salt Spring Island (for a crow); sailboats of course go much farther than that depending on wind direction, wind strength and even the tides and currents.
This year, the super-fast catamaran Dragonfly flashed across the finish line at 6:14 pm. An hour or so later many of the faster boats were also back for dinner on the docks.
