Water seems to be returning to the mountains.
This is Harris Creek alongside the Pacific Marine Circle Route (committee’s name, not mine).
A lovely sight and lovely sound on a recent spectacular fall afternoon.

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.

An experienced tree at the edge of the sand along Beddis Beach.
(Why is the background black? The morning light was low and harsh on this old Arbutus. I manually adjusted the camera to expose for the tree, not the entire scene. So the background—rocks and bushes already dark in the deep shade—is even more underexposed. And thus the tree gets all the attention. Which, of course, is the intention.)

From a late day beach walk that yielded new artwork every few steps.

Gorgeous late day September light paint this favourite spot with special texture, dimension and colour.
