Location bts:

Most of the filming around this park has been kept to the larger main paths, but while climbing into the bushes to get the right angle here I discovered a cleared spot from filming. Several areas here have plots cleared which have been useful markers in the forest.

Thank you, Linda! It's been a learning process but I'm always happy to be able to share more about the real-life locations with the fandom. I appreciate all of your support and kind words 💛

Thank you so much 💖 I'm definitely glad I started with photographing more of the city locations because the trees are always more of a challenge. Pesky forests are always changing...

As you can see from the photos of this location, Shelby's headstone was constructed on one of the roads in the cemetery so as not to disturb the area.

Serving the area since 1907, North Vancouver Cemetery is approximately 9 hectares(22 acres) and is bisected by Lillooet Road. If visiting this location, use the entrance near 1505 Lillooet Road, then turn left to follow the road back to the Old Cemetery section.

This segment of road with the reddish tree is where they built the 'Shallow Sound Memorial' cemetery gate.

I also need to give an extra shout out to Tony Wohlgemuth for the photo he posted of the driftwood structure they built for Esther in this scene. Because of this photo I was able to find this beach using the configuration of the 12 pilings in the ocean in the background.

This park makes for a great visit in Spring as it is the home of 255 Akebono cherry trees, which usually bloom in March/April. The annual Richmond Cherry Blossom Festival showcases the trees and celebrates Japanese culture and the Japanese-Canadian heritage of Steveston.

As well as the beach there are trails to Sturgeon Bank Wildlife Area, a commemorative Japanese garden, and the Scotch Pond heritage site. The Wildlife refuge is an important conservation area for Great Blue Herons and other waterfowl, and they can often be seen in the distance.

Location bts:

Garry Point Park is a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf and borders the Fraser River. The current in this area is very fast-moving so please stay out of the water if you visit. The filming location is on the left side of the beach near the Fisherman’s Memorial Needle.

A bit of a random fact, but I thought it was quite neat: Charlotte Romses, who in this scene plays the 'Young School Marm,' is a circus master trainer in aerials and specializes in aerial silks, aerial hoops and trapeze.
