Stanley park

A short visit to Vancouver's jewel, Stanley Park. Walked through the park from the entrance to the old zoo area, and onward to Lumberman's Arch for a small picnic,  look at the scenery and back to the entrance going through the Stanley Park Pavilion area.
The rhododendrons, azaleas.. were still flowering profusely, and the trees were alive with their new spring growth.

Rhododendrons and my Soulmate

First Narrows, Lions Gate Bridge.
Normally this area would not be accessible since the Stanley Park Water Park would normally be in operation from this vantage point; but due to the pandemic it was closed.

Zoomed in a little

 Across the harbour  looking at the extensive docks on the North Vancouver side

Empress of Japan monument on the point

A nice Victoria Day visit to this wonderful park.


But wait !!!
 More photos from my soulmate this time.......

 Guess who?..

Granville Island adventures

So We went to Granville Island on Sunday 29 September2019, a nice day it was. And there was some art activities going on, primarily printing, screen printing.
Very interesting to see large scale printing going on using a "steam" roller.
And there was a community carving of  one sheet of MDF.   Well pictures tell much more...
