Equinox

March 20, 2016

Salt Spring Equinox

On this first day of Spring, I was looking for an equinox image for our pals at National Geographic. And somehow I ended back at my new favourite Salt Spring Island mountain stream. In the rain this time.

I had expected there to be more flow in the stream, after seeing the torrent nine days ago. And I didn’t expect to see any of the iridescent green moss left either. I like the new cleaned-up, wet look and I think this it the best image yet. It seems more alive and vibrant.

Sometimes you need to work at a photograph until you get it right. Now I’m wondering what it might look like in moonlight or after a decent snow…

Any thoughts?

Navigating the First Hole

First Hole Swimmers

1:00 p.m. at the  Salt Spring Golf Course
In the driving rain, a Mallard duck and two Canada Geese enjoy a swim on one of their newly discovered lakes. Another goose performs maintenance and fertilization. Welcome to the Salt Spring Island Golf and Country Club.

(I’ll be donating my time the next four days to the Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts (GISPA) as part of my business cause: performing arts at Gulf Islands Secondary. I will have little or no time to do anything else so it’s likely that the next post will appear on Friday, March 18th)

Salt Spring Winter Creek

Winter Creek on Salt Spring Island

A picturesque Salt Spring mountain stream.
A special Sunday still life. A moving still life actually.
The stream is at its absolute best during this mild, wet winter. This image is much more detailed than can be seen on the web. High quality prints up to 5 feet tall or more are possible. Please contact me if you would like to purchase a small or large print from this image.

For years Salt Spring Island dreamed of having a modern community library.

Natural State

February 20, 2016

Natural State

A stream nears the ocean. The cedars, grasses, mosses, and the haphazard fallen trees, branches and leaves remain in a natural state. This is what happens when there’s no one in charge of keeping things neat and tidy.
