Cold moonlit nights, bright days with barely warming sunshine. The frost is growing fur!
I have posted numerous similar photos of frost (fractals, flowers, ferns, and maybe even fur) over the years. This has become extremely evident to me as I laboriously go over each post (over 1800!) fixing missing line breaks and inbound links that were damaged in this blog’s recent transition to WordPress. Am I so self-absorbed that I keep linking back to my own previous posts? Well, not this time.

while it is a dreary watery November day here, I am dreaming of some different water views

Details of the walls and windows of the now closed St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Alert Bay. This kind of weathering and aging activity is a very fascinating subject for me to record. Yet these images are a deeply disturbing record and reminder of what happened behind those walls so I’m not sure I could bear to ever print these.

This ferry to Quadra Island and back was a treasure trove of great details for my eye and for my camera. I think these are the last of the best!

Still remembering our wonderful island hopping trip in September. I love the small ferries and the opportunity to stand on the open car decks and take a close look at interesting details while also enjoying the sea crossings. We had boarded the ferry to Quadra Island early so had a bit of a quiet wait with no crowds nor vibrations, perfect for taking photos. As always, my interest in the weathered and the rusted details shows!

As most readers know, I love photographing details of interesting things like rusty objects. These are from the ferry that we rode a few weeks ago to Quadra Island and back. As I’m searching in my mind for a title, I think of ‘links’. I know that word has a multitude of meanings and assocations but I’m surprised at how many there are!
These are mostly rusty chain links, but can the twisted rope chain also be called a link or links? I recall taking similar detail photos on a ferry years ago but do you think I could find that link in my huge archives, or maybe I never did post the photos I’m thinking of? A missing link somewhere?

Just a photo today, a lovely little detail on a dockside railing, at Alert Bay of course.
Hope to get back to the rest of the island hopping saga tomorrow.
Have you guessed that I’m trying to do a post a day for NaBloPoMo, or National Blog Posting Month? It’s helping me get back to regular posting but I don’t know if I can keep this up!
