Beautiful blossoms at Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: A photo from one of my favourite places in spring attire can't be missed from my photostream! I enjoyed a quick visit to Burnaby Mountain Park to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms that had finally popped open over there.
I noticed this couple standing under the blossom trees while hugging, that was the perfect opportunity for me to take a photo.
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival officially kicked off on March 26, 2025 and will run until April 28, 2025. There are many different varieties to be found in Vancouver and we usually get to enjoy cherry blossoms from the end of March until the end of April.

Some information on Burnaby Mountain: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Burnaby Mountain is one of the beautiful places to visit in Burnaby and is located near the Simon Fraser University. The views over the mountains, the Burrard Inlet, downtown Vancouver and Indian arm from up here make it such a great place. This is a fairly popular destination for visitors and locals alike. The green hillside offers room to throw a frisbee or send a kite soaring. There is a network of trails which offer a variety of hiking, walking and jogging options. There is a picnic area and a small playground near the parking lot and there is also a playground tucked away in the upper hillside.
The Centennial Pavilion area features the Rose Garden, with its vibrant colours in season and a great variety of roses. There used to be the Horizons restaurant as well which has been closed and "Mintara atop Burnaby Mountain" is now the new restaurant up there. Towering over the distant city are the tall Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures. The Kamui Mintara is more than a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei. These impressive sculptures commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.
Burnaby Mountain is a great place to enjoy in any season as there are always the beautiful views over the city, the mountains, the Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm (a coastal fjord of about 18km/11.25mi long).

Rudbeckia are wonderful, free-flowering daisies in cheerful colours ranging from yellow to bronze to mahogany. The showy flowers will attract bees, butterflies, and the seeds are loved by birds. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.

Pacific Wrens are very small, energetic and erratic. Its complex and vibrant song is a lasting, melodious tune that boasts such energy it’s hard to believe such a tiny bird sings it. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.

An Elephant style lash-up leads a manifest along CN's Ashcroft Sub seen here crossing the Thompson river.
Heavy winter and spring rains often bring down trees and undermine others to change the path of the creek after the falls.
I still take photos while I am away from Flickr. On my birthday, my fiancé and I took a day off and relax a bit in Downtown. I decided to check out Fly Over Canada (Iceland) as the Iceland show will be over on that Sunday. To be honest, the show was better than I expected and it makes me want to travel to Iceland soon.
I always find Fujifilm a very great camera to use and XF10-24mm is such a versatile wide angle zoom. I heard that a MKII version is coming out very soon. Many people asked me if I am still using Fujifilm. I always tell them "yes, for now". If I am selling off my X-H1 and lenses, I will still get a X100V as my secondary camera since Fujifilm camera is so fun to use :)
Location: Downtown Vancouver, BC (Canada)

Stocking Falls on Stocking Creek with one of the many stumps that over the years during storm seasons make their way over the falls - most are not so intriguing as this one - seems to be perfectly placed to enhance the falls :)
The heavy mist from the waterfall softens the overall look, something I was worried about with having to keep it off my lens.

First fall colours spotted along the Stanley Park seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: Fall has officially begun in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Our weather is on and off, with some sunny days and some rainy days. On one of the sunny days, I enjoyed a walk in Stanley Park in search of some fall colours. Some trees are vibrantly coloured already and others are still green. But one of my favourite trees in Stanley Park is looking vibrant already. Yay, may favourite time of the year has started! I can't wait to go capture some more fall scenes soon.
I took this photo at Brockton Point along the Stanley Park seawall in Vancouver, BC, Canada. 🍁🍂🍁🍂

Some information about Vancouver: Vancouver is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and is located by the Pacific Ocean on a peninsula surrounded by water and in the distance there are the mountains. Vancouver is considered a pretty clean and safe city with a great variety of shops, museums, theatre, outdoor activities (hiking, walking, kayaking, sailing, skiing on the local mountains in the winter) and more. Walking around Stanley Park is a favourite thing to do for tourist and locals alike. This beautiful park extends from the city centre of Vancouver almost to the North Shore. With wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean around every corner, downtown Vancouver is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Walk along Robson Street, the most popular shopping street. Experience Chinatown with the different kinds of building and stores, walk on the beaches of English Bay and the seawall of Stanley Park, enjoy a walk in Gastown with the old steam clock and the many gift shops.
Look out for some Hollywood film sets as Vancouver is used for many big Hollywood movies and shows. That's why you might hear that Vancouver is called "Hollywood North". Here are some examples of shows and movies that were/are filmed here: "Deadpool 1 & 2", "The X-Files", "The Good Doctor", "Colony", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supernatural", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and many many more. Then there is also the Canada Place, the stadiums, the Harbour Lookout, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Science World, the Vancouver Art Gallery and much more! All of these attractions are located within minutes from the city centre.
Vancouver is also popular in the winter for winter activities. There are 3 local mountains where you can do any type of winter sport. There is Grouse Mountain, most famous for it's stunning views over the city and fresh powder snow. Grouse Mountain is accessible by skyride...this is a big gondola that will take you up to the top of the mountain. Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain are famous too and you also get wonderful views from the top of these mountains. As you can see...Vancouver has lots to offer. The Winter Olympics were held here in 2010 as well.
