Earlier in the winter, I went over to Salt Spring Island on a Sunday (and sunny it was for a change) and found some great images. I was taking photos by the Ruckle Heritage Farm and this gentleman rode by in a fur coat on an e-bike. Never know what to expect but be ready. #saltspringisland

ethereal diamonds
glisten
in rain drenched forest;

the silence hums.

pistils & petals & stamens

pistils & petals & stamens,
O my!

you take my breath away
just sitting there
all unassuming like

until suddenly!
a beam of magic
late-winter mid-afternoon sunlight bathes and anoints you,

almost animating you,
making me want to sink deep
into your erotic splendour.
Pink freesia flower blossom close-up, showing great detail of stamens and pistils in flower’s centre. All bright with sunlight.

Happy Family Day (okay, yesterday, but every day can be family day when you choose to surround yourself with the people you want to call family, whether you share genetics or not).

Salt Spring Island Family pose for photos with Hannah Spray Photography in front of the ocean on green grass. There is an island shown behind, and stormy skies are beginning to brighten, but still look darker than bright blue sky.
