Looking back on B.C. from my porch...

                              This sign in front of the library caught my fancy...

                                     Inside the library looking up...

                             A view from the ferry...

                                         Seals...

                                           Ferry views...

                             A tree I had never seen before. Arbutus, I think.

                                                      The gates on Salt Spring...

                                           The veggies were beautiful...

                                                      The tree house...

                                          Notice the wooden house boat on the left...

                                              One of the sunsets...

                                           Mountain veiws everywhere I looked...

                                          Cheesery...

                                          Another gate...

                             The star fish, also the star of the tide pool!

                                           The blue views and rock faces...
