Autumn has well and truly arrived. #fallcolours #fallcolors #inthegardwn #autumn #autumnleaves #fallleaves #thattimeofyear #nature #vancity #veryvancouver @vancouver @inside_vancouver #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures Back in Vancouver and, with a wedding on the weekend, I stopped by @queenbeeflowershop for flowers rather than a ribbon to top the wrapped gift for the happy couple. I went with pinks, but this lovely bouquet was a reminder that it’s this coming weekend that we Canadians will be celebrating Thanksgiving. #flowers #floral #florist #fallcokours #fallcolors #autumn #autumncolours #autumncolors #fallbouquet thanksgiving Up in - and above - the clouds today #cloud #clouds #cloudsofinstagram #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel Today’s sunset, from above the US #sunset #aerial #aerialsunset #beautifulsky #beautifulskies #octoberskies #picofthrday #nature #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel This is one incredibly beautiful planet - sunset from today’s flight #sunset #sunsetskies #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel More clouds #cloud #clouds #cloudsofinstagram #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel My thanks to the Barbados Stock Exchange for inviting me to speak at your seventh annual Corporate Governance and Accountably Conference last Friday. It was a pleasure to be part of such critical conversations, and to work with delegates. #governance Tribute is paid to Sir Grantley Herbert Adams, QC, CMG, outside these Barbados government offices, situated across the road from beautiful Carlisle Bay #beautifulbarbados #barbados #bridgetown #beautifulskies #barbadosbeach #barbadoslife #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke A day at the beach, in reverse ... #beautifulbarbados #barbados #bridgetown #sunset #beautifulskies #barbadosbeach #barbadoslife #beach #beachescape #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke Sandpipers and sunset skies - I could watch both forever #beach #barbados #beautifulbarbados #nature #sunset #caribbean #our_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 #sunset #bc #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport passport Each evening’s sunset in Barbados has been different, and varied with the cloud coverage. Tonight there were almost no clouds in the sky, and this is what it looked like 10 or 15 minutes after almost all the sunset watchers thought the show was over and left the beach. No edits in these pics, natch. I have been taking far too many shots of these entertaining sandpipers! #beautifulbarbados #barbados #bridgetown #sunset #beautifulskies #barbadosbeach #barbadoslife #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel #sandpiper #sandpipers #birdsofinstagram Barbados at sunset #caribbean #barbados #bridgetownbarbados #bridgetown #sunset #beach #reflections #beautifulskies #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion Loads of fun to be had in the sunset waves in Barbados 🇧🇧- I was just relieved each time the one fellow surfaced without hitting his head on that concrete pier. #sunset #tide #waves #surf #surfing #ridethewave #ridethewaves #barbados #needhamspoint #bridgetown #picoftheday #picoftheweek #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel Today in Barbados #barbados #caribbean #beach #beachlife #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #sunset #tide #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel
