Vancouver in Early March – Part 23 – Along the Seawall

The Vancouver Seawall typically refers to the stone wall constructed around Stanley Park to prevent shore erosion, but it also denotes the pedestrian, cycling and rollerblading path on the seawall.

Sublime views abound

for those who but stop to look

along the Seawall.

Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

    1. The summer is really busy. Winter is cool and rainy. Cherry blossom season is from early March to early April and the weather can be quite nice. We love going in May or September/October for nice temps and less rain. The fall colours are beautiful in late October/early November, but it can be cool. The choice is yours, it has attributes in any season or month. Thanks for reading. Allan

  2. It’s amazing how much there is to see and do along the seawall in Vancouver. It certainly makes for a great urban day hike. Thanks for sharing such beautiful photos and have a good day 😀 Aiva

      2. The cold weather is not so bad. We were up hiking in the snow line today. Hiking at +4C with a 20 km wind was refreshing. Watch for the posts. We like Australia, but the hot weather and all the things that can kill you stopped us. Tee Hee. Both are great places to live. Cheers. Allan
