I took a break today to return to one of my fav places for the first time in a few weeks.

Back in Vancouver and, with a wedding on the weekend, I stopped by @queenbeeflowershop for flowers rather than a ribbon to top the wrapped gift for the happy couple.
I went with pinks, but this lovely bouquet was a reminder that it’s this coming weekend that we Canadians will be celebrating Thanksgiving.

My thanks to the Barbados Stock Exchange for inviting me to speak at your seventh annual Corporate Governance and Accountably Conference last Friday. It was a pleasure to be part of such critical conversations, and to work with delegates.

Sandpipers and sunset skies - I could watch both forever

No edits in these pics, natch. I have been taking far too many shots of these entertaining sandpipers!

Loads of fun to be had in the sunset waves in Barbados 🇧🇧- I was just relieved each time the one fellow surfaced without hitting his head on that concrete pier.
