There are 2 dachsie noses in this photo - Rupert buries himself in his fur blanket like a big dog taco - his little nose is all you can see #dachshunds #notspoiled #fauxfur #lazysunday

Maritime Greenwich London is a UNESCO World Heritage site. My cousin lives here so I am fortunate to have visited several times, highlight from my last trip The Painted Hall and Chapel at the old Royal Naval College which I wrote a blog about DecorataDesign.com #paintedhall #oldroyalnavalcollege #Greenwich

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays + Joy + Peace + all those good things - I hope you enjoy a fun and relaxing holiday with your favourite people. 🎄♥️

Breakwater walk and coffee stop@breakwaterbistro Aluminum Railing added 2013 @askeenkuhni I recall walking this on a very windy day long long ago - sans railing #breakwater #victoriabc #ogdenpointbreakwater

Government House - official residence to Lieutenant Governor and ceremonial home of British Columbians - located on36 acres - open for the public to enjoy - it was gorgeous (the grounds, the house not so much) Originally designed by Landscape Architect GK McLean in 1911. A fire in 1957 burned Government house down and you see the original portico incorporated (weirdly) into new building. The British born landscape architect Robert Savery updated the gardens in a more traditional English style. The view south were spectacular and the grey sky broke open for our wander... Judging by the number of tropical plants this south facing slope must bake in the sun all summer. Totem Pole carved by Chief Tony Hunt Bronze sculpture of Sir Janes Douglas by local sculptor Armando Barton. worth a visit.. #governmenthousebc #victoria #garden #landscape #hellobc

One Tree exhibit @ RobertBateman Gallery - a 200 year old maple tree that that lives on through art - all of these pieces were made by different West Coast artisans and there were many more objects than shown. Love that coffee table with the resin and that pivoting front door - all of the pieces were gorgeous. #onetree #robertbatemangallery #artisan #woodwork #handmade

Blue sky view of inner Harbour from another favourite @steamshipgrill (also designed by architect Rattenbury if you have been following along - This was CP Steamship Terminal built 1924 Beaux Arts Style) #steamshipterminal #beauxart #architecture #canadianpacific #rattenbury #victoria #victoriaarchitecture
