Repost of the Day: Autumn at Stanley and Pacific Spirit
Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Vancouver
October 3rd, 2020
More fall! Nature speaks in deep reds and golden yellows at Stanley Park and Pacific Spirit Regional Park in Vancouver. Leaves are like confetti, celebrating the end of another summer.
Enjoy! Tomorrow we’re back on the magic carpet, on our way to the next destination.

The beauty of Stanley Park and Pacific Spirit Regional Park speaks silently. An entire season’s story unfolds in broad strokes of fall color knit with smaller discoveries like spider webs and mushrooms. Walking the quiet trails, it’s easy to imagine what the native landscape of Vancouver looked like a few hundred years ago when the Squamish and Musqueam people lived here. Much has changed since then, but the golden hues of autumn remain and feeling tiny among tall trees surely holds as much magic for me as it has for every person who has ever explored these lands.

I can’t help but think that to the shimmering beauty of the colours is also added a touch of nostalgia for the good days that are leaving and makes us cherish this last reminiscence of summer.

Absolutely! A touch of sadness and a time of transition. Sometimes I hate to see summer go, sometimes I can’t wait for winter. This year, I have mixed feelings.

It’s not so vibrant in Bangalore, though we can see traces 🍁🍂🍁 in some of the parks.

Fall colors have started to brighten the countryside here in southern Oregon, Kelly. Always a joy. I can imagine that they are gorgeous as far north as Vancouver. I need to start taking some photos for my annual welcome fall post. –Curt
