Sunday I was in
Vancouver to walk along
False Creek from
Science World to the main beach at English Bay. I took the seaside walk along the north side much as I had done the previous day. The weather was excellent with plenty of sun that brought out people walking, cycling, rollerblading and just soaking up the sun. These are just some of the photos I took. We'll begin with a photo of a sea bird, the
cormorant, one of the oddest birds I've seen!
There's some artwork along the way to capture your interest, such as this piece above. Welcome, star people!!!
There's a path for cyclists on one side and a walkway for those walking on the other. The
Aquabus, the
False Creek Ferry, gets those that want to from place to place along the waterway.
There's more artwork (above) and Yaletown is filled with highrise condos as well.
At the
Granville Bridge you can view
Granville Island with its markets, shops and such. This too can be reached by
Aquabus.
There are plants to capture one's attention and there are more boats on the water too. There are some passing under the
Burrard Bridge in the photo below.
There's a lovely view of
Bowen Island and the mountains (above) from a high point near the Burrard Bridge and with a great view of
Sunset Beach with the
West End in the background (below).

Evidence of solar power is there as well (above) and plenty of promiss of summer in the plantings along the route (below).
The main beach at English Bay has all sorts of activity, such as a beach volleyball game under way (above), and plenty of people just enjoying the company of friends and taking in the sun. I hope you've enjoyed this little tour of False Creek out to English Bay and dreams of the summer yet to come (only a week or less away)!!! - V.
Now that we are in the midst of a cold blast of arctic air and real winter here on the west coast, here is a photo of one of the beaches facing English Bay in Vancouver. The photo was taken in early August during the height of our summer here in British Columbia. Perhaps this will serve as a distraction from all the snow and cold that we are currently having. There will be more about the beaches, from Kitsilano, Jericho, Locarno and Spanish Banks Beaches to Point Grey Beach soon. Meantime, enjoy this diversion!
