Puzzle Description:

English: "From Sea to Sea" - This is the Canadian National Motto. Maybe you Canudians knew this, but did you know where the motto came from? Answer in comments.

Psalm 72:8 "May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!"

And your next question might be, "What are the red pixels?" They are the two couples who are vacationing on the island, which is one of 100 of the Broken Group Islands in Barkley Sound off of the west coast of Vancouver, BC. They forgot to bring sunscreen, so they are a little sunburned.

The one in the lake is taking a swim, while his wife is out fishing in the boat on the left. The one in the boat on the right just tried to proclaim dominion over his wife, and she said, "No one has dominion over me - I'm outa here!" and jumped overboard and is swimming back to the island. Don't worry, he will turn around and come back to beg her forgiveness, and they will enjoy their last night on the island. :-)

Fix dinner and do the laundry, that will work even better. :-)

Very nice! I thought it might have been "marriage at sea," based on my limited French. :)

Larry, Canudians is what I call my friends who put a "u" in words like colour and behaviour. :-)

As for "au naturel" - sure, why not! After all, they are young and beautiful. :-D

I'm a Canadian ( Canudian ) and I love the colour and the behaviour of the couples! Thanks Teresa; I love it!
