This is Lord Stanley...
|
... who caused this park to be created in 1889.
|
Picturesque.
|
I was too early to see the formal roses, but some wild ones were lovely.
|
|
I walked inland to see this Shrinking Lake.
|
There were ducks, but not the other critters I'd hoped to see...
|
... although here's clear evidence that the beavers are hard at work!
|
A more patient photographer than I am was stalking this guy. I settled for the heads-down shot.
|
|
Vancouver is considered a model city in many ways, but very "vertical".
|
I liked the steps" on this building, used for patios, it seems.
|
I liked looking at the boats. And in the photo, the effect of the masts among the buildings is fun.
|
This is the boat house. Very classic.
|
|
I was surprised to find a cricket match at the far end of the park.
|
|
As you can see, the walking trail is great. Also note the blue heron.
|
No, this isn't a mermaid - just a female scube diver!
