Victoria is Gay

Here's a quick snap of today's Pride Parade taken only a few hours ago. For many years the city's Victoria Day Parade was the big parade of the year but there is no doubt it has been eclipsed by the Pride Parade which must have drawn tens of thousands out this year. Macdonald Park where the parade ended was jammed with thousands more who came out to celebrate many kinds of diversity. Now if we can just keep up that spirit of tolerance and acceptance for the rest of the year!

The weird colored sky is the result of the many forest fires that are burning in BC and neighboring Washington State. They cast a very strange yellow-orange light over everything.
