Saj Henderson's photos

But I think this is my favourite because it's joyful.

I like this one because it's more mysterious.

I have a new clear umbrella and used it for the first time for something other than rain! I'm having fun but I'm still figuring out what works best.

I'm walking in the neighbourhood after dinner, looking in trees for owls (I never see owls) but I did find a cat on a swing!

I was taking photos of water reflections near our inner harbour when an otter swam right into my photo. How cool is that!

Playing with light and shadow.

Our weather has been gray, and more gray, so I went downtown to find some colour, red will do nicely!

I'm wandering around the house adjusting venetian blinds when I noticed this pattern, it's a zebra morning!

Carving detail from totem found in Thunderbird Park. Thunderbird Park is named for the mythological creature found on many totem poles: the ones in the park came from the Gitxsan, Haida, Kwakwaka’wakw and other First Nations.

Carving detail from the S,YEWE Legend Pole (also known as the Elliott pole) in the University of Victoria quad created by carver Temosen (Charles Elliott) of the Tsartlip First Nation. It was raised in 1990.

In 1956, Ted Shaw endeavored to choose the tallest, straightest cedar tree he could find. The tree he chose stood 133 feet tall, and after it was felled and delimbed, the tree was transported to Thunderbird Park’s carving shed. From there, Mungo Martin, Kwakiutl tribal chief and renowned carver, along with his son, David, and Henry Hunt strove to create the Story Pole. After laboring over their creation for six months, the Story Pole, standing 127 feet and seven inches tall, was erected in Beacon Hill Park where it could overlook the Strait of Juan de Fuca. At the time of its installation, it was the tallest free-standing story pole in the world.
