Stanley Park Wander

The Vancouver summer weather continues to be bright, sunny and the temperature remains in the mid-twenties Celsius. So we took the opportunity on Saturday afternoon for a two hour wander around Stanley Park through its gardens and woodland. We enjoyed a two-hour walk and were surprised to discover Beaver Lake in the midst of the forest.

The walk to attractive Beaver Lake (so-called because it was once home to a beaver colony) was well worth the effort. In summer the lake, the only natural freshwater lake in the Park is a haunt for herons and ducks and is a mass of variously colored water lilies. Beaver Lake is a very tranquil area of Stanley Park, nice for a relaxing afternoon wander was our thought.
