Sanctuary: The Ancient Forest Experience currently at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Relax onsite and absorb the feeling old growth BC forests inspire and the intrinsic value of protecting and preserving what is left. Beautiful. #nature #forests #vanartgallery

Georgia at Hornby #StreetSign still there. Jack Wasserman's gossip and society columns,celebrity clips, political analysis covered tons of 1950s and 1960s ground. A familiar #media face at dinner clubs.Think The Cave and Isy's. Collapsing at posh #Vancouver Hotel in 1977 a fitting exit? #lookup

Noted for my next #Vancouver teatime and #buns. #streetphotography

Maybe it’s my imagination, but this lion #sculpture on Granville St., #Vancouver skyscraper looks more worried than fierce. Probably he’s seen too many changes in the decades he’s been up there. 😀 I’m inclined to want to hug him and reassure him! #travel #art #justsaying

Jim Lambie is a Glasgow–based artist, DJ and musician. In the #Zobop works, which date back to the late 1990s, meticulously applied tape in concentric patterns respond to, and amplify, the geometry of the space. Installed directly in the Gallery’s Rotunda. Psychedelic, performative experience.

Tourism #Malaysia Marketing Executive Ann Léong is a long time #travel associate and friend. Thanks to TM, #Asia has become a favourite destination. In addition to history and wonderful hospitality, Malaysia encourages long-stay #holidays and is a popular medical #tourism destination.

Had a very interesting chat with Andrea about rabbits! A dedicated Vancouver Rabbit Rescue and Advocacy volunteer, she passed lots of bunny basics and tips for taking care of these skittish creatures. Ask about adopting one. Naturally the right home, caregiver and facilities are critical.

Ireland: while exploring the #WildAtlanticWay, I find a #storyteller in an old stone cottage in forest under cloudy “darknight starry skies. With a thread, candles and a twinkle in his eye, he delivered a #message. #travel #failteIreland #Ireland #IrelandGoesBeyond #UrsulaMaxwellTravels

Sometimes I just need a solitary walk along Crescent Beach - and reflect on how to solve a heartbreak. Am (again) reminded that some things just can’t be ‘fixed’. Hearts break more than once in life. They survive. #Life, like tides, ebb and flow. #reflections #sunsets #beaches #UrsulaMaxwellPhotos

Diana Fox #Carney in Cloverdale #SurreyBC while campaigning for her husband, Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney. Turbulance (mine!) and a turban (not mine!) means my video was less than perfect, but Carney’s sentiments remain on track. #elbowsup #UrsulaMaxwellVideo #Never51 🇨🇦

Cargo being loaded onboard in Coal Harbour, #Vancouver, British Columbia. A unique shot I grabbed from a sea level seat at the back of the Maple Leaf Adventures tender zipping over to North Vancouver to join MV Cascadia. #greatday #photography #shipping #UrsulaMaxellPhotography

Vancouver’s Chinatown isn’t what it once was, but I still love visiting it. A revitalization initiative’s in place. Hopefully succeeds. Recommend: The Chinatown Storytellers’ Centre and the Chinatown Museum. Both different, very worth visiting. #streetsigns #travel #Chinatown #UrsulaMaxwellPhotos
