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.

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
