Cherry blossom season has arrived in Vancouver and people are taking to the streets and parks to take snaps of the delicate pink blossoms.
If you are hunting for some places to spot the beautiful blooms, however, ensure that you maintain a safe distance of one to two metres between yourself and other people. This means that crowded viewing locations are absolutely unacceptable.
Have a look at some of the most beautiful photos from around the Lower Mainland.
Today is the first day of spring and I gotta say, the breezes are feeling warmer and the cherry blossoms are blooming....!!! Grateful for the small things. pic.twitter.com/56X5WGJqdb

Took my own advice and we went for a walk in our 'hood and found lots of buds and flowers and sights! Another couple weeks and the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom on our street #mycity #vancouver #beautyisintheeyeofthebeholder pic.twitter.com/nAwpP2UdQG

Over the next several weeks these boring looking trees on our street will turn into massive blooms of pink. It's a true wonder of spring and I'll post daily updates here to share it with all of you. #CherryBlossoms #CherryBlossomDaily pic.twitter.com/UwFe91Ftif

Coming out of @CityofVancouver #CityHall after today’s #COVIDbc press conference.

The cherry blossoms outside the hall remind me that #Vancouver provides an incredible place for outdoor social distancing.
Time outside with family or friends is safe & healthy for mind & body. pic.twitter.com/Fh6HrI1BFg
As a handsome crow peacefully lands on lovely cherry blossoms, my coronavirus anxiety is pleasantly assuaged.

In these challenging times, when we need social support, and at the same time, do social distancing - I’m thankful we can do both - online.#COVID19 #CopingWithCovid pic.twitter.com/hjho5SeCz9

Have a look at some of the kooky things people were doing to get photos of cherry blossom photos in Vancouver last year.
