As I said yesterday, 2025 has been a good year. Going back over my photos from this year, looking for ones to include in my annual "Things that made me happy" file, I ended up with far, far too many. I've cut the list down to 32 representative photos, to split into 4 posts.
This is the first batch: Going places, driving, walking, hiking. This island is such a beautiful place to be, and the roads and trails always call to me.
(Some of these photos were in my "later" file; others I've already posted earlier in the year.)
 |
| January. Old road, now closed to traffic, high above the river. |
 |
| January, beside Buttle Lake. I go here often just to look at the rocks. |
 |
| September, Elk River. A long hike on a stripped hillside with a viewpoint at the end. There's always something worth seeing. |
 |
| April. Road to Zeballos, on the far (west) side of the island. |
 |
| February. Just another logging road, well used. |
(I see on the weather report that it's supposed to snow on Christmas day. I hope!)
 |
| June. Last photo of a trip to Saltspring Island to visit family. |
 |
| June. An unmarked trail led me down to the edge of the Quinsam River. |
 |
| March. Early spring on the BCHydro trail by the Campbell River. |
Tomorrow: company (four- and two-footed) along the way.

Como dije ayer, 2025 ha sido un año feliz. Revisando las fotos de todo el año para escoger algunas para incluir en la lista anual de "Cosas que me hicieron feliz", tratando de escoger una que otra nada más, junté más de cien. He achicado la lista, quedando con 32 fotos representativas, para subir en 4 posts.
Este es el primer grupo: Carreteras, caminos, senderos. Esta isla es tan hermosa, y las vistas siempre me están llamando.
(Algunas de estas fotos estaban en mi archivo "para después; otras las he subido antes.)
- Enero. Un camino viejo, cerrado para tráfico ahora, que corre en la ladera arriba del rio.
- Enero. Al lado del lago Buttle. Regreso frecuentemente para ver las rocas.
- Septiembre. Elk River. Un sendero largo, seco, cruzando terreno baldío para llegar a una plataforma de observación. Siempre hay algo que vale la pena visitar.
- Abril. Camino a Zeballos, en la costa opuesta de la isla.
- Febrero. Un camino maderero; este está en uso frecuente. (Veo en el pronóstico meteorológico que dicen que va a nevar el dia de Navidad. ¡Ojalá!)
- Junio. La última foto de un viaje al sur hasta la isla Saltspring, para visitar a mi familia.
- Junio. Un sendero sin nombre me trajo a la orilla del rio Quinsam.
- Marzo. La primavera llega a un sendero de BCHydro, subiendo por el rio Campbell.
Mañana: compañeros de cuatro y de dos patas por el camino.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
