The eighth image here shows what I thought of as the “Great Migration” for the plucky little ones. . #duck #duckling #vandusen #vancouver #nature #veryvancouver #vancity #our_best_birds #bestbirdshots #wonderousnature #birds_captures #best_birds_of_ig #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds #birds_adored #birds_nature #birding #waycoolshots #splendid_nature #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport How wonderfully wild and windy was it early today at Kits Beach?

I met the homeowner of this wisteria-draped house and, as the sign #suggests, it actually was “The Old School House” for the village. #chippingcamden #broadcampden #cotswolds #cotswoldstone #cotswoldslife #schoolhouse #wisteria #wisteriahysteria #spring #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travelpassion Chipping Camden and its Market Hall, built in 1627 ... the Cotswolds #chippingcamden #markethall #cotswolds #cotswoldstone #cotswoldlife #stone #england #uk #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travelpassion Pheasants under ( 😆 ) grass ... at Blenheim Palace #pheasant #pheasants #blenheim #blenheimpalace #gamebirds #nature our_best_birds #bestbirdshots #wonderousnature #birds_captures #oxfordshire #woodstock #best_birds_of_ig #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds #birds_adored #birds_nature #birding #waycoolshots #splendid_nature #feather_perfection #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel We had an incredible start to this sunny day.

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.
