Sunday was HOT. In fact, according to my personal calendar it's the only summer day we've had so far this year. We were out on the Saanich Peninsula for an art show and stopped at this lovely little beach afterwards. It was also the disembarkation point for this group of kayakers in their colorful little boats. This has become a popular sport here. The word "kayak" comes from the Inuktitut language to describe the boat developed by them and other northern peoples. Wikipedia has an interesting article on this HERE. The low mountain in the background on the left is Saltspring Island, one of the Gulf Islands.

Blue....
Even the kayak is blue. How's that for color coordination? This photo looks out through the entrance to Victoria Harbour across the Strait of Juan de Fuca towards Port Angeles, Washington, USA, where, if you look closely, you can almost see the Port Angeles Daily Photographer standing on the beach. And on the far left, although he is very tiny, you can nearly make out the Port Townsend Daily Photographer out for a stroll on his bit of shoreline.
