Description
This image was captured at Ganges on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. I was docked at the public marina about to leave for the Saturday Market when this group rowed by heading for the same place. It turned out they are a combination petting zoo/busker troupe that was also heading for the Saturday market where you can get to know the animals while listening to accordion music. I think the goat fell in love with my leg but you have to watch out for those horns. The puppy was small but had a large personality...one would have to in order to get noticed in this family.

Just a regular day on SaltSpring and a nice group of street performers commuting to work in a broken boat. Come for the goat stay for the music.

Thank you Fiona...if you like the photo you would have loved their performance with accordion/petting zoo.

I think that it's a bit of both Bill. You can see that they are on auxiliary power, must be an issue with the outboard, but it does not seem to have dampened their mood. If you look closely you can just see the accordion there between the goat and the man and I can verify that he can squeeze some fine music out of it.
