Nearly forgot to post about the Green House at Kamo Iris Garden. This is a green house that has a traditional Japanese building appearance but has transparent roofs to let light through. It is quite something to see as there are so many plants inside.
Autumn is my favourite season, it is colourful, crisp and the sunlight casts lots of shadows because of the angle the sun is in the sky. It certainly makes taking pictures more interesting. We went to Queen Elizabeth Park and I was testing out the Sony Alpha NEX-5N camera with the kit lens.
Summer is ending soon. After Labour Day (first Monday in September), school will go back to normal schedule and it seems another 10 months of hard work starts all over again in the work force. Summer always seem to give everyone a little break. However Summer is selfishly short here in Vancouver. The most enjoyable time in the year in my opinion is July and August. It is when the weather is usually the mildest, with the longest day light and has the least amount of rain.
The cherry blossoms at Burrard Station has started blooming for almost a week now. They usually only last for about 10 days and with the rain forecast on the weekend, I wonder if the petals will fall sooner. Until then, let’s enjoy the blossoms!
We went to Queen Elizabeth Park on the weekend took some more photos of sakura in Spring. These photos are taken using the Lumix GF2.
Just thought I would post some of these random photos this time. I am really enjoying taking photos during this time of the year :)
Here are some photos of wild flowers taken last weekend. I thought the photos would be totally shorty from the sun blasting right above us but they kind of turned out okay….
This is probably the last set of cherry blossoms photos for the year. Our Spring has been exceptionally early this year but it is also pretty long. These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago.
