Winter View from Mount Erskine

January 10, 2016

Mt. Erskine in snow and fog

10:00 am, south of the Mount Erskine summit

Another day, another hike. This time on the Erskine Trails, with the marginally faithful Westie: Cameron.
The fog, frost and snow make it so quiet, peaceful and different from the usual view.
Caution required though as one step off that ledge takes you very quickly to forest floor many hundreds of feet below.

There are only so many mountains on a small island like Salt Spring. So it’s been mentioned and photographed before on this website. Quickly browse the other Erskine posts by typing erskine in the search box at the bottom of the website. Or, if you’re in a big hurry, just click here.

Snow!

December 15, 2015

Snow!

10:44 a.m. from Booth Canal

That’s Vancouver Island as seen from the Booth Canal bridge. And that white stuff, for those at sea level, is SNOW.

And below is a bonus (iPhone) photo from someone who was up exploring the backroads late Saturday in that area…

Last Light

November 5, 2015

Second last off the Beach

One last evening at Long Beach, Vancouver Island.
Two dogs and their people, were the second last off the beach that night.

Sunset at Long Beach, Vancouver Island

The last rays of light illuminate the thundering surf as seen from the Green Point area. Seems like few people experience this scene, after sunset, in November. (This photo was taken by the last person on the beach; it was completely dark by the time I got onto the forest trail leading back to the campsite.)

It’s hard to say how long this trip will satisfy the need to visit the west coast—but we’ll be back in the spring for sure!

Early Morning and Early Evening at the Beach

November 4, 2015

Light and colour in the northwest sky at sunrise. When all the other campers were still snug in their beds.

Splendor and Solitude at Long Beach

 

Long shadows and lingering footprints in the sand document a-start-to-finish, glorious autumn day in Pacific Rim National Park.

Dinner time at the Beach

Some Water in the Creeks

October 10, 2015

Harris Creek Oc 2015

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.
