Arbutus Tree, Gabriola

We went for a short drive along Berry Point Road this afternoon, and I stopped to grab this quick shot of an Arbutus tree along the shore, with Texada Island in the background.

The light was pretty flat with a lot of moisture in the air from all the rain we've had recently, so I thought this image would look better in monochrome.  The Fuji mirrorless cameras, including the X-T2 I used here, can produce wonderful black & white images.

This fall has been a particularly rainy one on the west coast, and between the weather and the seemingly endless list of repairs and renovations to our new house, we haven't had much time to explore our new island home.  

We did luck out last Monday, with a very sunny sky for most of the day, so we headed down to the south end of the island in late afternoon to check out Drumbeg Provincial Park.  It did not disappoint - here are a few of our photos from that outing.
