I love looking at the Florida and Arizona and California photos from realtors in these areas...the cacti and the palm trees whisper of exotic spaces and places....at least when compared to the Pacific Northwest Coast colours!
This kind of British Racing Green shade is typical of our forests (Cedar, Fir, Hemlock, Maple, Alder), and our oceans are not really crystal clear...maybe the first twenty feet or so, but then it's a more opaque ocean that we sail upon.
Beaches are pebbles or sometimes sandy swaths, or maybe a cove of crushed shell, but in the main they are "shingle beaches", smooth pebbles. In some area, there are patches of warm swimming waters, and in others they give you ten minutes, if you fall off your boat, until hypothermia sets in!
Beauty is everywhere, though, and sunrises and sunsets, no matter the locale, inspire us all.
Home is home, no matter the address....
Enjoy your summer...it's the half-way point, so get out there and mix it up!
How may I help you to discover special Salt Spring Island & the Southern Gulf Islands? Call me!
