Me smiling as the January sun gleams upon me

Mossy magic in the forest

Lunch time on a mossy bluff: we earned some calories 😏

Hi-ho hi-ho, sweet sunny morning on sword fern patrol. A good workout with my trusty mattock and friends who also like trails and trail maintenance #quadraisland

Contender for cutest border collie puppy nibbles a high tide shore score while the sun sets behind it with a rocky beach and the Salish Sea reflecting pale amber in the background

Summer found a beach snack; a lone male transient orca freaked out three stellars sealions which was kinda cute; a posse of mixed gulls nooked in from a brisk northwest wind. #outsideisawesome #quadraisland

An owl release happens at dusk when the weather is dry to help support reintegration. Stoked to have played a part in the rescue and release of this Barred Owl. #goodnews #QuadraIsland

They’re called ‘earth stars’, apparently

Slugs enjoying a bolete mushroom

Sap suckers really work a tree, so many holes! Love the golden drips of drying sap on this Douglas fir

Headwaters of a marsh in Main Lake Provincial Park

The forest is always medicine. Check out these wild fungus I found today… (and some other cool stuff I saw) in Main Lake Provincial Park on #QuadraIsland

The fascinating scraggly texture of the bark of an old yew tree growing at a low angle towards the light afforded by the shore. Yew trees are an understory tree in mature coastal forests

A really good tree, an incredible old yew tree #quadraisland

Just off the tip of quadra island.
Just the most magical moment to witness the power of such a massive creatures acrobatics .

Beautiful anchorage, lots of room, good holding ground. A dream within a dream.

Missing the warmth of the summer sun. This is one of my favourite little hikes hidden away on a little island on the west coast of Canada

I love #VancouverIsland and the #GulfIslands so much. #SaltSpringIsland and #QuadraIsland are so special. Looking at property in Qualicum Beach right now. On the Lower Mainland currently. 🇨🇦💜

Had a kickass forest-immersive workout today — aka day of trailmaking #quadraisland #outsideisawesome

Boulder & stones at the shore’s edge; waves and seafoam

Rushing, tea-toned creek reflecting off boulders and driftwood logs as it races to the sea

Ruby red Nootka rose hips, stacks of driftwood; soft-focus whitecaps behind

Amidst the seasonal bustle [and my dad being hospitalized] yesterday I found time for a soul recharge – wind, shore, an anything-but-ephemeral creek. Finding time for outside is important 🌲✨ #winterlight #outsideisawesome #ligwildaxwterritory #quadraisland

Wind warnings // ferries not running // power out // trees swaying and breaking… including two firs dropping onto our shop, cracking the ridge beam (stroke of luck? no windows broke) #bcstorm #quadraisland

As the cormorant's drift past my front door and the Quadra Island Lighthouse, the Log Driver's Waltz runs through my mind.

CrankyGoat with his happy dog on cabin deck at Taku Resort, Quadra Island.

Some days it seems harder to find dog friendly places. That’s why I need to give a shout out to #TakuResort on #QuadraIsland. As they are very dog friendly and a fabulous place to make as home base for some island adventures.

A lone tree that stands proud amongst the forest…

We have a favourite hiking trail on #QuadraIsland, and on that trail is a special tree - we always visit it and have done so for over thirty years now. Pictures don’t do it justice, it just feels ‘good’ to be near this lone tree that stands so proud …
