I am taking some time off from my blog and will not be posting as much. I am taking my yearly "reading break" where I read each of the blogs I follow and search for new blogs to follow.
I am very attached to each of your blog life stories and each blog pops up on my dash for me to read. I feel like each blog holds a friend in some strange way. I have been reading some blogs for many years, even before I started blogging.
I may not be commenting as much but will be visiting silently still. I want to change the direction of this blog and want to try out new media so it is a time of reflection, redirection and inspiration for me. I still will be posting now and then.
These photos were taken a few weeks ago when we had so many pelicans here in the inner harbour. The reflection shots of the houseboats were taken at Fisherman's wharf where I also took the pelican shots as well. You can see the little fishes he has in his pouch below.
I may not enter all these memes but this is the only way I can still join in. Thanks so much to the meme hosts who put on each of the following amazing memes for bloggers to join in and share their work.

DeleteNora, love the photos! I have to tell you that your photos and your blog helped me make my decision recently to go on an Alaskan cruise with a friend this Spring. The fact that the ship leaves from Vancouver, BC meant that I would get a chance to actually see this wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off! We will be awaiting your return.
That is wonderful news Rian. The cruise season starts around May so you will have a wonderful time with good weather then. I am on an island not far from the city of Vancouver.
DeleteSuperbe et quel appetit a ce pelican ! ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Audrey. You have lovely icy blue photos today.

DeleteMagical, colourful reflections! Your photos take us on a beautiful cruise of the harbour! It is always inspiring to stop and look around at your journey and then decide where you may like it to lead! I do this at holiday time! It always feels good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gemma, seems like you are in the middle of summer there.
DeleteYour shots are breathtaking! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break!
And your shots in black and white are even more beautiful than in color, it is true then the black and white photo does show the soul of the subject, some First Nations believed that the camera would steal their soul. But then Pia I think your photos show your soul and it is lovely to see.
DeleteSo beautiful. I love the water and the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. I will visit you.
DeleteSuch bautiful and bright colors! Almost as in summer ♥
ReplyDeleteDivine, lush paintings of sweet angels ....Mona is an artist with the camera.

ReplyDeleteLOVE those colorful houseboats... I'm so glad you came by to share on Weekly Top Shot #66!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pelican shots. I love the richness of color reflected in the sea. I hope you find much inspiration and new ideas for your blog.
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful! i have many blogs that i started following since i started blogging and still visit them daily. then there are those that i followed but they stopped blogging for some reason. i keep their links in my sidebar still and often wonder what happened to them.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing captures!!! I am enchanted by all that water. Being land locked, and in such a dry area, I yearn for water. It is mind blowing to me that things are so close to the water. I love the color an texture of your photos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful color combinations enhanced by the reflections! Sorry I haven't visited lately, flu is no fun!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a very relaxing reading time!
-Wally in warm Florida.
