Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
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.)

Sunday’s post-sunset view from an upstairs window.
My favourite local tree. It’s common to see these colour layers when there’s a bit of cloud on a summer evening.
It’s just a leaf.
I might have walked right by without noticing it last year.
But this year I find it interesting and special.
This old Garry Oak tree has a firm grasp on the remaining waterworks of a heritage homestead on Salt Spring Island.
