We were on our own with Benji today and did our best to enjoy the sunny breaks between the showers. Our route today would take us past Lost Lagoon, through Stanley Park and up beside the Stanley Park Teahouse. Below is the route map for this 6.5 km (4 mile) hike.
Lost Lagoon willows
These mergansers were always in this end of Lost Lagoon
Beneath the weeping willow
Ivy climbs the tall trees
on Tatlow Trail
Mist diffused sunlight
Covered in moss
The rainforest lives up to its name
The sun makes a breakthrough
This wary squirrel keeps an eye on us and Benji, as he chows down
shining branches
A moment of light near the forest floor…
…but darkness is hard to banish here
Nearing the edge of the forest, the outlook is brighter
A good place to have waterproof hikers
Views from Ferguson Point show the fog and rain have moved off…for now
Seabirds use this opportunity to reposition
A shrouded look at Third Beach and North Vancouver
This split log seems to be saying I may be down, but I am not out. Such character in the grain.
Winding our way back.
Popping out of the forest at Lost Lagoon
Sunday afternoon at the Lagoon
Your bench awaits.
Yup, if we lived here, we would walk here often. So nice to have our home away from home so close by.
