Vancouver in Springtime

I had the pleasure of visiting Vancouver for a very quick weekend away and fortunately the weather was sunny and warm.  We rented a car and drove to Squamish, about a forty minute drive from downtown and took the Sea to Sky Gondola up the mountain and admired the amazing scenery.   There were a lot of hiking trails to choose from and I really wish we could have spent more time there.










Then we took a walk around Stanley Park.  Signs of spring were everywhere.








The next day we took a walk to the Waterfront from our hotel.  Imagine living here and seeing this scenery everyday!






As we were walking around at night we passed by a florist and saw this lovely display.  Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the store but the flowers were stunning.









 We returned to sunny, warmer temperatures back East with spring around the corner.  Thank goodness : )

  1. Looks like it was a fantastic break, and I'm so encouraged by your images of spring! You've taken lovely photos. Here in Toronto we are still not anywhere near that, but you post reminds me it's coming, soon. :)
