Glorious Fall!

The sun is continuing to blaze into September, and though the soil is parched and lake and river levels are at their lowest, we all enjoy the reprieve before winter arrives.
Kayaking is a popular sport around here  and I've been on numerous mini-trips around various lakes and shorelines of Vancouver Island and the many smaller gulf islands that encircle it. Here's a photo taken from the shore of Hornby Island - note the interesting, natural sandstone formations. Texada Island is behind us (I'm on the right disguised with sunhat)
