As a location for a family reunion, Salt Spring Island isn’t the most central. On the other hand, it’s one of the more scenic ones. Ocean. Lakes. Trees. Gardens. Boats. Campsites. Maple leaves. Sunsets.

Article of the Week
As to why all this has been banished from official memory, it has everything to do with the way postmodern historians, pseudo-left academic activists and a succession of Liberal politicians have shaped the way we are allowed to talk about ourselves. About the way we are instructed to talk about slavery, about racism, immigration and the dynamic role Indigenous people played in building a new world from the late 1700s to well into the 20th century. - Emancipation Day: Against Revisionism, by Terry Glavin

Loved the laundry. Missed the arbutus trees.

Jim – 🙂 I don’t yet have an arbutus photo that I like. Still stalking . . .
Great photos, Isabel.
A couple of the water shots reminded me of this:
A friend gave me a Google Home Mini. Neat and handy little device. I make up stuff to ask it. This morning, I said, “Hey Google, I’m up.” The reply was “Good morning, Sunshine!” So I followed with, “What’s doing today?” (meaning the news which it normally gives me without asking) The reply, “I was just looking at pictures of seascapes. There’s something about them that makes me very happy!”
Tom
Tom – LOL Making friends wherever you go, eh? Your raconteur sounds like my kind of person. There *is* something about seascapes that makes me happy, too, at least in person.
Beautiful pictures!
Kate – Beautiful spot!
Looks like the weather cooperated. Glad you were able to gather there. I was thinking of you all.
Alison – Weather delightful stop no fist fights stop too much food stop!
