Bumpy boat ride to the Hot springs island spotting black bears, grey whales and sea otters. Our skipper Tony's favorite saying "I am standing and taking nourishment" Means he is doing well today. #boat #whalewatching #britishcolumbia #tofino #urbansketchers #urbansketch #skipper

Beautiful British Columbia. The rare moments when the sky is mostly clear but the majestic mountains are under the gentle veil of clouds. #urbansketchers #britishcolumbia #tofino #totempole

"He was my soulmate" says Vanessa, the owner of the Gingerbread cottage about her husband Dean who passed away a few months ago. We stayed with Vanessa many times in the past and each time Dean was faithfully by the side of this sweet and gregarious Austrian woman. We stay chatting late into the night about family history and medicinal herbs. #urbansketchers #victorianhouse #britishcolumbia #travelbritishcolumbia #victoria #livingroom

Breakfasts can't get any cuter than that. Plum dumplings with whipped cream in a heart shaped dish with heart shaped sprinkles. Doilies and all... #breakfast #adorable #foodillustration #travelbritishcolumbia
