Gorgeous old Arbutus tree seen on Mt. Erskine hike.

Close up of bark peeling of Arbutus tree. We could HEAR it happening one day in our yard... a loud 'crackling' sound.

Beddis Beach. A great beach for morning outings, shady in the later afternoon. Only a very short walk from the parking area.

Palm tree growing in downtown Ganges on Salt Spring Island. Our mild mediterranean climate makes it possible to grow many exotic trees and flowers!

Saltspring Cheese Farm does a nice Easter event where kids can hold all the baby bunnies and see the lambs.

In a meadow near Beddis Beach, the assortment of trees are beautiful all year but especially stunning in the fall.

Ancient shell midden, evidence of Coast Salish life on Salt Spring.

Skunk cabbage grows wild in the ditches, wet areas during the early spring. Quite beautiful, despite the name.

Yes, it does snow on Saltspring. Rarely, and it's short-lived, but we get the occasional heavy snowfall.
