I have loads more cherry blossom shots to share but, in part so this screen isn’t completely awash in pink tones, here are some shots from a gorgeous west coast sunset last autumn. #sunset #bird #birds #birdseyeview #garrypointpark #richmond #explorebc #sunsets #beach #westcoast #canada #steveston #exploresteveston @vancouver @inside_vancouver #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #travel #vanlife #vancity Vancouver’s Burrard Skytrain Station is a must-see spot for cherry blossoms each spring. It’s still a little early, but the lighting and emerging blossoms against the backdrop of pink-tinged Park Place still make for a nice sight. #spring #vancouver #cherryblossom #cherry #sakura #sakurablossom #flower #floral #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travel @Vancouver #fleurdecerisier It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood ... #spring #sunshine #vancouver #cherryblossom #cherry #sakura #sakurablossom #flower #floral #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travel @Vancouver #fleurdecerisier I know this is cheesy, but oh, well. These #cherry blossoms are gorgeous, and this block had fewer photographers than most today. #spring #vancouver #cherryblossom #cherry #sakura #sakurablossom #flower #floral #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travel @Vancouver #fleurdecerisier I spoke too soon in my last post. Some trees are still gearing up for blossoms, but others are already in full bloom. Location, location, location. 😎 🌸 #spring #sunshine #vancouver #cherryblossom #cherry #sakura #sakurablossom #flower #floral #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travel @Vancouver #fleurdecerisier This shot is from a couple of years ago; this year’s cold winter has seen a late start to Vancouver’s cherry blossoms. #spring #sunshine #vancouver #cherryblossom #cherry #sakura #sakurablossom #flower #floral #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travel @Vancouver #fleurdecerisier #bokeh Cherry blossoms #spring #sunshine #vancouver #cherryblossom #cherry #sakura #sakurablossom #flower #floral #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travel @Vancouver #fleurdecerisier ... and just like that, it’s springtime in Vancouver. #spring #sunshine #cherryblossom #cherry #sakura #sakurablossom #flower #floral #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #bbctravel #travel @Vancouver #fleurdecerisier The Great Blue Herons are back in their Stanley Park colony. #vanparkboard #heron #herons #heroncolony #stanleypark #vancouver #spring #bird #birds #bestbirdshot #ig_birdwatchers #birdstagram #wildlifephotography #veryvancouver @vancouver @inside_vancouver #EarthCaptures #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #stanleypark #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures Timing is everything;
