30 pictures that prove spring is coming to Vancouver (PHOTOS)

Vancouver is finally defrosting and with the mercury rising and the sound of birds chirping in the air, we definitely have springtime on our minds.

The first official day of spring is on March 20. Although we still have a few weeks to go, Vancouverites are already noticing that the grass is getting a little greener and flowers are starting to bloom.

Here are 30 pictures of Vancouver slowly turning into a springtime paradise.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! ❤❤ I have been working lots lately and haven’t really had time to enjoy the long weekend or today much. Oh well, we will make up for it some other time. This photo was taken last month when we went to Grouse Mountain later in the afternoon today, but once we got there the parking lot was full. We drive around for a good 15-20 minutes without finding a spot so we left and did a bit of shopping. On the way home we stopped at the Pier in North Vancouver for a walk and we were able to cathc a sunet over there! there would be a bit of a sunset. Here is a view of downtown Vancouver seen from the Burruard Dry Dock in North Vancouver, BC, Canada #MustBeVancouver #ExploreBC #VeryVancouver #photos604 #explorecanada #dailyhivevan #604now #ilovebc #tourcanada #igcanada_ #burrarddrydock #GeorgiaStraight #IGS_CAN #igersvancouver #vancityfeature #vancitybuzz #VancouverCanada #igvancouver #pier #northvancouver #vancouver_canada #igbelgium #SonyImages #vancouvering #discovervancouver #narcityvancouver #oh_Canada_ #vancityhype #vancouverofficial #thankyoucanada

A rare sighting. It was our first time seeing killer whales in the wild. Killer whales, the Vancouver skyline and Mt. Baker all in one shot!

How’d you start your week? I’m enjoying having lots of adventure friends to show me the trails and give me advice! Spectacular doesn’t do this place justice.
