| Gorgeous cherry blossoms out in full force |
There is no need to rush to Japan to see the cherry blossoms when Vancouver has a lot of these trees planted all over the city.
Hundreds of cherry trees were gifted by Japan to Vancouver to be planted in Stanley Park in honour of Japanese Canadians who served in World War I.
After the 1950s there was also a large planting exercise of crab apple, plum and more cherry trees.
Today there are some 43,000 cherry trees in the city, including more than 50 different varietals.
This morning taking advantage of the weather (before it rained for the rest of the day!) I did a quick walk in the neighbourhood and this time walked along a street I don't normally do.
There I spotted some gorgeous cherry blossoms and up close you can see they are little pink pom poms of blossoms on the branches which makes the trees look so fluffy.
