The calendar might not agree, but spring has already sneaked up on us! I had planned a bike excursion to Horseshoe Bay for today, hoping that it wouldn’t rain too much. But on my way to Stanley Park I came upon a street gloriously lined with cherry blossoms. And then the sun came out. I just couldn’t leave the city behind me, that’s how much I love it…
Instead I took a long ride along the waterfront, followed the seawall, cruised through the park’s forest, climbed to Prospect Point, zoomed down to the beaches, left the water for a while to venture into the West End, then back to English Bay, crossed the Burrard Street bridge, headed west for a while, came back and explored False Creek, passed the three bridges, went up the hill to 14th Avenue and headed to Commercial Drive where I had a War at Belgian Fries, before going back home…
Vancouverites were out celebrating a beautiful Saturday and the coming of spring. Cherry blossoms were everywhere, pink and white. Harmony blanketed the city. It always does. Here are a few snapshots.
