#FriFotos: Colourful/Colorful

Kids, it's not photoshopped! I could NOT get over the colour of the gorgeous ocean while taking the ferry from Athens to Mykonos. It's like this all over the Greek Isles and I highly recommend going!

Whoo Hoo! I’m co-hosting Fri Fotos today! It’s always fun to share my photos and see others interpretation of a theme. Plus, I love that this community–going strong for over a year–always gets so excited and creative each week for each theme. This one is no exception. It’s colourful (yes, there were many jokes about the Canadian spelling of this word) and it’s spring so hoping this will inspire some summer getaways or at least different vantage points. Here’s my take:

#Fri Fotos: Best of 2011

2011 was a crazy year. Where did it go?! I had a few monumental trips this year, so here are a few photos. As for people I met this year, I think I’ll keep that a separate post, as there were so many wonderful people that I got to meet this year.

Guest Post: Vancouver in Four Days

The lovely Emily from The Maiden Voyage went on her honeymoon to Seattle and Vancouver. She asked me for a few tips and my essay-ridden emails turned into a blog post for her readers.  You’ll see what I did when I went to Vancouver; where I ate; must-sees and must-not-sees. Hopefully, this will prove helpful to you if you are planning your trip there. Vancouver and Victoria are wonderful destinations. It’s places like this that make me proud to be Canadian.  Oh, and if you’re not please follow Emily’s blog. It’s all kinds of awesome!

Dear Beach Drive, Victoria BC

I was told to look out for you but I didn’t expect you to be such an unexpected discovery.  The cobalt blue of the ocean had me fixated.

As I wound my way along the curves of Beacon Hill Park, I reached you.  Runners, rollerbladers, walkers and photographers abound.  A bird swiftly flew out of this picture. The sign near the steps leading to an oasis upon the descension.
