A Beautiful Week

Hi friends and fellow bloggers,

It's been a fantastic week weather wise here in Vancouver.  

The photos I'm sharing today were taken with my phone camera on Wednesday April 25, 2018.

A house on my walk. I was drawn by the big cherry tree on the side of the house.


 I was surprised to see a number of gardens that were quite far along given that we haven't had a warm spring.

I didn't take many photos of gardens that day.
I normally wait for summer walks for garden photos.




Magnolia tree blossoms are almost all gone but they are so pretty.




In my last post I shared pink cherry blossoms. Today I'm sharing white ones.
These trees are very tall.


Whether the cherry blossoms are pink or red, I love them all.

Vancouver has an estimated 40,000 cherry trees and at least 54 different varieties of them planted throughout the city.
The first cherry trees were a gift from a sister city, Yokohama, Japan.

What a beautiful place. I love all the photos but especially the house and the 2nd one down with what I think are poppies(?). I love all those cherry trees. That's so wonderful to have a sister city :).
I like that house with the big tree in the yard too. I hope I can see your neck of the woods sometime.I hope you have a great weekend!

Our cherry trees here are all white. The only pink ones appear to be flowering cherry with no fruit... Great set of photos, well done. Happy weekend Diane

Didn't know Van had magnolias. You've got lots of spring blooms.

Fruit trees are favorites of mine - I can see why you're drawn to the cherry tree.

Cathy said...

What a pretty walk you have. I love to do the same and take pictures of our neighborhood when walking. Hope you have a great weekend.

Beautiful pictures! You seem to be further into Spring than we are. We don't have many things blooming yet, just a few daffodils.

Spring is a beautiful time of year and walking is the perfect way to see all the pretty spring blooms.

So wonderful...we have nothing like this yet, and even when Spring has sprung, we don't have hundreds of trees in bloom. Thank you for sharing these!
