Cherry blossoms galore in Vancouver, BC, Canada
Gorgeous Akebono (I think) cherry blossoms seen in my neighbourhood near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: While driving to and from my work I would spot this little side street lined with trees that were full of cherry blossoms. For the last couple of days I meant to stop and take some photos, but I only had my cell phone with me as I don't particularly want to take my DSLR to work. Today I stopped on my way home from work to take a photo with my cell phone, but sadly enough it didn't turn out all that nice as the camera on my phone is of poor quality.
After dinner I decided to drive back to that specific street with my DSLR to take some photos. Thankfully this place was only a few minutes driving from our place. It was so lovely to just walk along the sidewalk and enjoy these beautiful cherry blossoms. There was a lovely fragrance in the air and I heard some bumble bees buzzing around these trees as well.

Some information of 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: "The X-Files", "Dark Angel", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and 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 airtram 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.
