Blossom bathing

These photos are from April, but I dug them up because I still can’t get enough of all the delicate blossom trees all over Vancouver.
We love going to Garry Point Park in Steveston because quite honestly, there aren’t a whole lot of other things to do in Richmond if you don’t want to go eating out/shopping (truly Chinese pastimes). Last year we were so surprised to show up early spring to realize that it was actually lined with a bajillion cherry blossoms and it was a major focal point of attraction for anyone who wanted to enjoy the scenery.
A good fun thing to do is to pack some food and drive down to the park and enjoy. I forget exactly what the food was here but I think it was miso stir fried vegetables with some crunchy cucumbers on top.
Those ones are a variety that bloom earlier in spring. Later in the month and in May, we got a load of these pink fluffy ones:
I always match the blossoms because I just own too many pink/purple clothing items 🥹
