Want to see where the hens hang out when not out and about?

Scotch Broom on Isabella Point Road (across from the Fulford Ferry Terminal)
Once the land has been cleared and the sun wakes up the dormant Broom seeds (I’m told the seeds can lie dormant for up to 60 years…) It only takes three to four years to create a fast spreading scene like this.
We’ve seen Broom before on the Salt Spring Photo of the Day (June, 2012). See also Royal BC Museum’s Aliens Among Us.

Looking out Ganges Harbour (Ganges is slightly to the right of this view) and wondering what the summer will bring as this sleepy island wakes up to the seasonal influx of visitors.

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.
