A thought for your day, with my good wishes …

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have few virtues.

Another unedited look at Vancouver’s beautiful and snowy West End this Wednesday #vancouver #sunsetbeach #westend #snow #sunset #beach #sunset #sailing #boat #boatlife #boating #golden #winter #vancity #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #westend #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel Today’s exercise in alliteration: a sailboat in sunny pre-sunset waters off the shores of a snow-covered Sunset (yes) Beach. This is Vancouver. Shot is edit-free; this is #nature. #vancouver #sunsetbeach #westend #snow #sunset #beach #sunset #sailing #boat #boatlife #boating #golden #winter #vancity #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel ... and now, another kind of floral arrangement. This one’s courtesy of the distinctly un-Vancouverlike snow we’ve received. #heather #snow #snowinvancouver #snowday #february #blossoms #pastels #wintertreat #feastfortheeyes #springiscoming #countdowntospring #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #style #vancouver #veryvancouver #vancouvermoment #flower #flowerstagram #floralinspiration #nature #heather So my evite must have gone astray, haha, but whomever coordinated details for the Justin Timberlake concert vip pre-party has exquisite taste.

Here, some shots near Witless Bay, which I visited with @obrienstours. #puffin #witlessbay #newfoundland #visitnewfoundland #bird #nature #bird_lovers #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 #birdphotography xplorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures Would you (could you?) live in this geometric highrise without feeling dizzy? A few shots ... I’ve been enjoying watching Vancouver House, a 520’ tall twisting tower, go up - and perhaps it will be less dizzying inside what’s been described as a giant curtain being pulled back than from ground level. It’s certainly a striking addition to the skyline, and the design reflects site challenges. #highrise #urban #urbanliving #geometric #vancouverhouse #vancouver #geometrics #architecturephotography #westend #honeycomb #design #steel #steelandglass #architecture #veryvancouver #downtown #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #worldplaces #passionpassport
