From the aft deck of the Skeena Queen as we swing into Fulford Harbour on the 1pm sailing from Swartz Bay.

In its private patch of morning sunshine, a tug towing wood-chip barges heads for the mill at Crofton on Vancouver Island.

May flowers. One on the side of the road outside our place, one in our garden.
* looks like there may be a delay of a week or so in publishing the Salt Spring Photo of the Day as my computer is off-island awaiting diagnosis and likely heart, and possibly even brain surgery


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.

Lots of people on Fernwood Pier these changeable spring days.
And lots of dogs ready to engage in games of leash tangle.
And superb clouds lurking over Galiano Island.
And Happy May, 2015.
