Vancouver Revisited

[entheosfog]

This was my first visit back to Vancouver since I moved away just over a month ago. And being back really made me want to move there again!
So here's some pics from a variety of areas taken last weekend.
Enjoy!

Taken on Commercial Drive, with the cherry blossoms in full bloom:

Nice work entheosfog...that shot of the community garage sale looks to be on the corner of Davie and Jervis, if so, I lived across the street back in 02 and it was a weekly thing even then. What a great area to be in on a beautiful spring day, I miss it for sure.

[JackStraw]

Cherry blossoms rock!
