Saturday afternoon the weather was warm and very spring-like. Rather than take the bus to the
SkyTrain I opted to walk, this time via 10th Avenue. Its a good thing I did. I got to see a number of trees in bloom, such as the
Prunus variety on the south side of my apartment complex. There's a close-up of the flowers below.
And at the north end of the complex there are these lovely trees lining the street between the sidewalk and the building. A nearby side street had some beautiful trees in bloom as well, which look awesome against the dark green of a conifer tree and the bright blue of the sky.
Above you see a
saucer Magnolia tree about to go into flower and then there's a scene along 19th Avenue in the photo below.
I took this shot over the roof tops of the surrounding area. The mountains are in the background, still topped with snow! Finally, this road sign below caught my interest. Remember the cartoon strip called "
Garfield?" I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Bye for now! - V.
Spring came early here! Here are some photos taken during the first weekend of March with the daffodils in full bloom.
If you remember, I left you with a quiz to figure out a few weeks ago. Well, the sculpture piece in the photo above (bottom left) was the source where the moss was growing. You'll see more related photos below.
The cherry trees were just showing their first blooms as you see in the photo above and below. They've since come into complete flower but the last time I was there about a week ago, it was overcast and not a very good backdrop for photos!
The mountains still had some snow but those further in the interior had even more!
You may recognize the pic above from the autumn post when this spartan tree was full of colour. There'll be more photos to follow. I hope you all had a great weekend!!! - V.
