A thought for your day, with my good wishes …

It is fine to celebrate success,

but it is more important

to heed the lessons of failure

I’m getting a late start, but 2019’s Christmas cards will soon be on their way. Am grateful to have photographed Notre Dame’s interior when I did. #christmas #christmascards #itsthattimeofyearagain #merrymerry #photocards #notredame I had a brief visit to Windsor and Eton this May, and am looking forward to returning next year. The original castle dates back to the 11th century. #windsor #eton #castle #windsorcastle #architecture #exploreengland #secretlondon #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport We were utterly spoiled for weather in Vancouver last week. Today, it’s not cold but neither is is sunny; you can’t even see the mountains today. #vancouver #vancity #december #mist #decemberskies #explorebc #dailyhivevancouver #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport There are days like today when I could kick myself for heading out without my SLR ... and then I remind myself that I’m fortunate to enjoy these sights in the first place. It was breezy at Kits Beach this morning, with high, choppy waters and scorers who provided entertaining insights on group dynamics. NB: I didn’t shoot in b/w; that’s just the light ... and the winds were good; they brought in a beautiful afternoon! #beach #scoter #seabirds #ducksofinstagram #kits #kitsilano #vancouver #vancity #waves #splash #our_best_birds #bestbirdshots #wonderousnature #birds_captures #best_birds_of_ig #planetbirds #birds_nature #birding #waycoolshots #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport The windows around South Granville Street are beginning to look a lot like ... #christmas #southgranville #christmastimeinthecity #vancity #vancouver #citysidewalks #queenbeeflowershop #christmas #explorevancouver #vancityvibe #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport ... and, with this third collection of memories from #ExecSecLIVEAtlanta, that’s a wrap! #atlanta #thewhitleyhotel #executivesecretarylive #professionaldevelopment #learningcanbefun #speakerlife A second collection of memories from #ExecSecLIVEAtlanta #atlanta #thewhitleyhotel #executivesecretarylive #professionaldevelopment #learningcanbefun #speakerlife Sending appreciation to all the delegates, organisers and fellow speakers who made #ExecSecLIVEAtlanta a conference to remember! This was an impressive event held by master hosts at @thewhitleyhotel. This is the first of a series of posts, which can’t begin to capture the positive energy and friendships new and renewed in Atlanta. #atlanta #thewhitleyhotel #executivesecretarylive #professionaldevelopment #learningcanbefun #speakerlife There are other factors, but the ability to walk to spectacular November sunset sights and sounds such as these is among the reasons Vancouver is such an expensive city in which to live #sunset #kits #kitsilano #vancouver #pickoftheday #westcoast #explorebc #explorecanada #nature #mountain #pacificnorthwest #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport ... and breathe out - soothing sunset waters this aft #tide #waves #beach #sunset #pointgrey #vancouver #vancity #vancityvibe #dailyhivevancouver #nature #mountain #silhouette #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport Happy Thanksgiving to my American followers and friends.

For some, sunset signalled a call for beverages. That also appeals, but I took each sunset as a new opportunity to capture the antics of these locals. #barbados #birdsofinstagram #sandpipers #sandpiper #our_best_birds #bestbirdshots #wonderousnature #birds_captures #best_birds_of_ig #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds #birding #waycoolshots #splendid_nature #explorebarbados #bridgetown #sunset #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion A closer look at Stanley Park and the dusting of snow on the North Shore mountains today . #vancouver #snow #mountains #vancity #vancityvibe #winteriscomong #beach #kits #kitsilano #kitsbeach #dailyhivevancouver #nature #mountainsofinstagram #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion #stanleypark We Vancouverites woke to a dusting of snow on the North Shore mountains today. #vancouver #snow #mountains #vancity #vancityvibe #winteriscomong #beach #kits #kitsilano #kitsbeach #dailyhivevancouver #nature #mountainsofinstagram #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion #stanleypark
