Just another day on the west coast. 😎 The challenging part of early morning walks is tearing myself away from the beaches. #vancouver #vancity #veryvancouver #beach #pacific #kits #kitsilano #kitsbeach #beach #nature #vancouver #vancity #veryvancouver @vancouver @inside_vancouver #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel #westcoast #coast ##pacificnorthwest Yum. It’s tough to imagine a tastier Sunday brunch than these delicious strawberries from Belle at Sunberry Farms. Yes, our BC berries really are this red; no edits here. #kitsfarmersmarket #strawberry #strawberries #bcstrawberries #bcfresh #kits #kitsilano #vancouver #veryvancouver #vancity #summer #summertreats #berries #picofthedy #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember One of many picturesque homes in Moreton-in-Marsh-in-Marsh, in the incredible Cotswolds. As you’ll see above the door, this home is called “Rhymes Cottage”. #cotswolds #moretoninmarsh #cotswoldstone #cotswoldlife #cotswold #cotswoldcottage #architecture #architecturephotography #home #door #doors #homesweethome #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel ... and exhale. Dinner on the waterfront this evening, with clean air and views of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains. #vancouver #cityofglassandsteel #vancity #veryvancouver #beach #pacific #stanleypark #bbq #barbeque #spanishbanks #nature #vancouver #vancity #veryvancouver @vancouver @inside_vancouver #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel #westcoast #coast ##pacificnorthwest Oh, Canada!

Once inside, the smells of good Italian cooking confirmed this was a good choice for dinner. #prettycitylondon #london #kensington #southkensington #da_mario_kensington #da_mario #italianrestaurant #yum #dinnerout #secretlondon #explorelondon #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke Blenheim Palace, through the magnificent gates. Independent of the gorgeous property, architecture and sense of history at Winston Churchill’s birthplace, the staff throughout were lovely - welcoming and helpful. #palace #unesco #oxfordshire #garden #woodstock #blenheim #blenheimpalace #marlborough #churchill #daytrip #england #nature #sundayatthepalace #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #history Beyond the palace gates ... Blenheim Palace. It had me at hello, and this Canadian optimistically acquired an annual membership. #palace #unesco #oxfordshire #garden #woodstock #blenheim #blenheimpalace #marlborough #churchill #daytrip #england #nature #sundayatthepalace #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #history Back to the beautiful Dior couture on display at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, with close ups of the fabrics used for these three dresses ... #victoriaandalbertmuseum #dior #pink #victoriaandalbert #christiandior #design #style #fashion #visitlondon #couture #thisislondon #londonfashion #diordesignerofdreams #secretlondon #thisislondon #londonphotography #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke Tide’s out ... #vancouver #vancity #nature #beach #mountain #mountains #explorebc #spanishbanks #pacific #canada #westcoast #pacificnorthwest @vancouver @inside_vancouver #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #stanleypark #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel Those herons shown in my last post scattered on the arrival of this eagle(pinch in for a closer look), but returned to their favoured feeding spot soon after, as you’ll see in the second clip. #eagle#eagles #heron #herons #mountains #greatpacificblueheron #westcoast #vancouver#pacific #pacificnorthwest #explorebc #explorecanada #nature #birdsofinstagram #your_best_birds #bestbirdshots #wonderousnature #birds_captures #best_birds_of_ig #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds #birds_adored #birds_nature #birding #waycoolshots #splendid_nature #wildplanet Birds of a feather ...

This will go down, I think, as one of my favourites - no edits, with the second image here is a close up. Time in London is incomplete foe me without seeing the birds and plant life in St. James’s Park, and I saw this swan and her #cygnets on the morning of the day I flew home. #swan #swans #cygnet #babyswan #babyswans #stjamesspark #stjamespark #london #secretlondon #thisislondon #nature #birdsofinstagram #your_best_birds #bestbirdshots #wonderousnature #birds_captures #best_birds_of_ig #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds #birds_adored #birds_nature #birding #waycoolshots #splendid_nature #wildplanet #feather_perfection #pocket_birds #wildplanet
