It’s been the rainiest and coldest spring I can remember in my thirteen years living in Vancouver, and only now at the end of March are the usual signs of spring making an appearance. I saw my first cherry blossoms of the season on an elderly tree at Kits beach, that is consistently one of the earliest bloomers. I was overjoyed to see these delicate flowers – and the blue sky!

The magnolias started making an appearance on trees in my neighbourhood last week, and I couldn’t be happier to see them. More blue skies, warm weather, and flowering tree please!
