30 pictures to get you ready for springtime in Vancouver

There is nothing like springtime in Vancouver. Pink cherry blossoms line the streets, daffodils and crocuses begin to bloom, and the sun is finally shining again.

The first official day of spring is on March 20, and with only 30 days left until springtime arrives in the city, we thought we would remind you why the season makes Vancouver even more beautiful.

A favourite shot of Kassandra from @designeveryday, who is currently in Europe for a few weeks… looking forward to hearing about your trip over a birthday cocktail, and seeing some awesome instagram travel photos! #friendstravelling #friendsineurope #travel #camera #rain #vancouver #blueandpink #pink #pinkskirt #umbrella #cameragirl #girlwithcamera #rainyday #cherryblossoms #springinvancouver #vancouverspring #yvrbloggers #vancouverbloggers #blog #bloggersofig #igfashion #vancouverfashion #pantonecolours #pantonefashion #romantic #dreamy #cozy

Sometimes you just gotta step back from the pile of school work and play in the piles of pink petals… #priorities #studentlife #vancouverspring #vancouver #aphrodites
