APAD: One touch of nature makes the whole world kin

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin" is a line from William Shakespeare's play "Troilus and Cressida".  In the play, the character Ulysses uses this phrase to express the idea that a shared experience or understanding of nature can unite people, regardless of their differences.

Ulysses suggests that when people witness the beauty and power of nature, they are reminded of their common humanity and the interconnectedness of all living beings. This shared experience of nature can transcend social, cultural, and political boundaries, bringing people together and fostering a sense of kinship.

Sorry for re-visiting the phrase from The Bard.  But Mother Nature is so amazing, not only can she unite people, but no one will ever get tired of her.

Hubby's brother was visiting from East Coast Canada the week before the last.  We took him for a day trip to Saturna Island, a small (31 square kilometres) mountainous island in the Southern Gulf Islands.

Below are seven pictures of the trip I took with my iPhone, to echo the words of The Bard, and for you all to enjoy.

Cheers and Happy Sunday!

1. On route (about one hour ferry ride from Victoria terminal)

2. Panoramic views of Vancouver Island, San Juan Islands (USA) @ top of Mount Warburton Pike

3. Run into a few mountain goats

4. Shared (with goats) road, a true 羊肠小道

5. What a nice reading spot

6. Brotherhood 

7. Park chairs to rest and sleep (after a long hike on the mountain)
