Three people ride a heaving dock at Fernwood pier during a dark and stormy day.

A little wind followed by some long overdue rain seems to have glued this maple leaf to the pavement.
Foreshadowing Fall?
Two Sided View
One of Salt Spring Island’s Two-Sided Views
Lots of places have a two-sided view; we’ve seen them before in the last six years of Salt Spring Photos.
It’s easy to get ‘focused’ on what is directly in front of you. But it’s always important to take a look behind as well; in this case a couple fishing on the dock, away from the sunset, and with a fabulous pastel sky to the east.
And, while musing, I might as well add the following:
Sunrise views are often better before the sun actually rises. And sunsets are often better after the sun sets. Yet most people, arrive for the actual sunrise and most people tend to leave immediately after the sun sets.
The sky at sunset this day was mostly grey. A few people who came to the pier to view the sunset and take a few photos left disappointed the minute the sun set. They saw neither the beautiful west sky nor the beautiful east sky.
Windy Day
Some of the SaltSpring Air crew ham it up during a sunny break at the dock Thursday. Despite the apparent shenanigans, wind gusts actually reached a serious 70 kilometers per hour on the dock. Only one umbrella was harmed (but was later revived).
The mascots were comfortably disinterested in the whole thing.
