More From the Waterfront

This series is a continuation of my day of photos here.
Click the photos for better viewing.




I'm not sure what kind of tree blossom this is. I think it might be a pear tree.
I love this pop of red colour from the tulips on a cloudy day. I also like the bird's nest way up on the tree on the right.

These cast-bronze statues are located at English Bay's Morton Park near the waterfront in Vancouver's West End. The statutes are called "A-maze-ing Laughter, by Chinese artist Yue Minjun.

Beautiful fotos. The pear blossoms almost look like orange blossoms. I bet they smell heavenly. What a neat statue. I have always had Vancouver on my "to visit" list. So much to see. Take good care.

These are great pictures. I love the sea of red tulips and the palm trees. And I saw a bird nest, it's tiny but very touching.

And the statures are wonderful. I enjoyed looking at these pictures very much.

I love English Bay, and the ships anchored out in the harbor awaiting a berth. These photos make me happy, Penny.
