spring in stanley park

Last week we went to Stanley Park just to get out into the Park. Stanley Park is one of my favourite places in Vancouver. It has everything – trees, gardens, beaches, trails, lakes, beaches, mountain views……it’s a total inner city oasis of nature.

Once again we took macro lenses and got in close for a different view.

Here are a few favs….first some B&W trees….

Going in really close to get the strand of spider web running from petal to petal….

There were these really trippy trees that grew in block formations – kind of like lego….very cool.

I love the patterns in these leaves – especially this shot by Susannah (I think this would make great wall art or an awesome screensaver)…

To finish, anyone who knows me knows that I think squirrels are the cutest thing ever (NZ doesn’t have any). There were tons of squirrels in the Park and I was pretty excited by all of them. This guy did a heap of poses for us…..

…but I think for most of you, one is probably enough :)

    Love the tulips. And how funny… I used to get very excited about the squirrels in the back yard at my flat in London…and my flatmates all thought that was a bit mad!
