A trio of blues...
Breakfast is blue too.
Our wee Galley.
Ah...

In the afternoon...
the water was calm so we went out in our dingy for a ride to explore the cove.
Pretty orange Nasturtiums
I love the variegated leaves.
A wee bit of whimsy...
some one has been busy carving.
We had asparagus with our BBQ steaks, mushrooms and salad.
We went to bed early and had a sound sleep.
When we woke up there was a fire red sun, smoke in the air and ashes all over our boat.
There are quite a few wildfires burning out of control in our province and the wind has carried the ash and spread it all over the lower mainland and the south of Vancouver Island.

We stopped on the way home at Mill Bay Marina and had a bite of lunch.
This family of Canada Geese and a lone seagull greeted us...
you can see the strange colour of the sky.
Ferocious Forest fires have displaced many people who have had to flee from their homes...
it's very alarming and I can imagine how upset they must feel.
Many brave fire fighters are risking their lives to help get these wildfires under control.

Hope that you are safe and sound where ever you are...
