Just so you know at the outset, I am walking to a well known city tourist attraction, Granville Island Market. This market is a very popular with tourists and locals alike and is set on an island located underneath the main city bridge, the Granville Bridge. But I begin my walk on Broadway and Laurel, right at the corner where Earl's Restaurant is located.
As I commence my walk I can smell a beautiful fragrance coming from these bushes. I walk further down Laurel Street, I can see many more bushes and smell more beautiful fragrances. I had to walk down this pathway for a few blocks. It is a rather steep incline.
Here is some signage that gives a tourist directions to the nearby transit and tourist attractions.
A beautiful little pond.
Now let us continue our journey. This next photo is like looking through a veil of trees. The veil will soon be lifted to show the beauty which waits.........
First up is this stunning water scene. A view of False Creek and the beauty of the boats moored there.
You can even see the lingering cherry blossoms. Those that don't want to say goodbye as most have already done. The beauty of the cherry blossom is so fleeting and so wonderful. I long to see these blossoms each year.
I love the cherry blossoms so much that I even wrote a Haiku verse about them and made a small video project in honour of the cherry blossom. Here is the Haiku.
This ends this part of the journey. Join me again soon as I carry on to the Granville Island Market. I'd love to know how you are enjoying the walk so far. Until we meet again, happy blogging!

Thanks for taking me on the walk. Lovely photos and a great view.
I so enjoyed my walk with you today, & look forward to the rest of it - such lovely, modern buildings and lovely flowers & shrubs to look at, too !
The path is lovely as well as the hedge! I can't believe the beautiful stream! Honestly great you can enlarge it! The vid was perfect-love the blossoms and the sun shining through the trees- thanks!
@eileeninmd, thank you for dropping by! I'm so glad you enjoyed the view.
@Lynda, hi there. I'm so glad you've joined me on the walk. I try to take photos of the buildings just for you as I know you are keen to see buildings here as compared to Tanzania. I wish I had "smell-a-blog" so you could also smell the hedges.
@Kilauea Poetry, I'm glad you enjoyed the hedge and the stream. Keen observation of you to see that I did indeed enlarge the video of the stream :-) You could perhaps see the traffic through the trees as this path is just past the 6th avenue overpass I wrote about.
Loved the start of the walk, loved the video of the water and the sounds it made, your scenes remind me a lot of Sydney (I used to live there for a while, twenty years ago now, beautiful harbourside city in Australia) Joyful walking my friend {{{hug}}}
Hi Lynn, I'm so glad to see you. Was beginning to wonder where you were, lol? I hope you've managed to check out the other "touristy" posts. There hopefully will be more to come this summer. ((Hugs))
