The Trees at the Foot of Thurlow Street
Thought I would share these with you all. The trees at the southern foot of Thurlow are a wonderful place to visit if you are out for a stroll in Vancouver's west end. Rain or shine, or even on those rare occasions when it snows, you will share Sunset Beach with picnickers, dog walkers, old folks, cyclists, skateboarders, tourists and in late July and early August with thousands of people making a day and night of it, enjoying fireworks and the Pride parade.

Wow when did you get that snow photo? Great contrast of the seasons here.
I especially love the trees along Beach west of Thurlow - probably the most elegantly shaped trees I've ever seen, and beautiful in any season. I called the Parks Board and had a lovely chat with a man who's clearly passionate about trees; these ones are apparently European Hornbeams, which I'd never even heard of before. He says they're planting more of them all over the city. Hope someday someone will notice and appreciate them...
Are those the trees that are full of lights at Christmas time? More beautiful than any houses on the annual must see lists! I expect if the trees aren't lit yet, they will be very soon and it will be worth the short evening stroll to view them.
