When I made one of my walks of the seawall at Stanley Park a few weeks ago, the tide was coming in. In the top photo the water is flowing away from the camera. If you look closely, you can see the current of the incoming tide. The photo is looking east toward Burnaby with the Coast Mountains to the left (north). Aside from walking the seawall, another great way to see the land and seascape is from the air, such as from the floatplane in the photo below. 
Rockweed, a type of seaweed found on rocks along the shore, is common everywhere as seen in the two photos above. Then below you can see a surprise: some minnows swimming amongst the rocks. Unfortunately, I am uncertain of the species but they are more colourful in person than this photo might indicate (i.e. blue and a thin stripe of red perhaps).
Canada geese can be found where ever you look along the water (Burrard Inlet, Lost Lagoon, etc) in Stanley Park and area. The gaggle of geese above is swimming along the shoreline on Burrard Inlet as the tide comes in. Take the time to enjoy and appreciate nature where ever you live. Go for that long, peaceful walk to enjoy all that it offers! - Volker
