A #throwback since this tree by the Girl in Wetsuit was cut down a few months ago 🍁 It provided some lovely framing, and shade, but you could tell it was rotted/not safe. Still a beautiful spot to stop and rest by the water, at any time of year.

A canopy of red autumn leaves frames the top of the photo which is taken from the Stanley Park Seawall in Vancouver. In the water of Burrard Inlet is the bronze “Girl in Wetsuit” statue on top of a large boulder, surrounded by the high tide. The north shore mountains are in the background across the water.

Our last regular season match (before the playoffs) is next Saturday in #Vancouver vs FC Dallas, on #MLS Decision Day. I highly recommend getting tickets if there are still some available. It has been incredible to watch this @whitecapsfc.com squad this season #VWFC

I love the West End

A collection of bikes on a rack along the sidewalk. One has red flowers in its basket. Beyond the sidewalk is a little bit of grass and then a four storey apartment building painted two shades of orange. Two palm trees flank the orange staircase leading up to a big wood and glass door.
