Spring bloom in Vancouver. Love the colors of this tree 🌳

Photographed in Nanaimo. Are cherry blossoms native to Vancouver Island? How did they get here? Hundreds of flowering cherry trees were given as a gift from Japan, to be placed in Stanley Park in honour of Japanese Canadians who served in World War II. Cherry blossoms are said to be native to the Himalayas. These flowers likely originated somewhere in Eurasia before migrating to Japan. Though they are not native to Canada, these trees have incredible wildlife value and benefit the ecosystem of High Park. The small fruits of the Yoshino and Akebono cherry trees are a source of food for small mammals and many resident songbirds, including American Robins and Northern Cardinals. Cherry Blossom trees, have edible flowers and the bark can be used for many medicinal purposes. With anti-inflammatory features, cherry blossoms can be used to reduce swelling and irritation on the skin. It also provides soothing and rejuvenating qualities, making it a popular skincare element. Apart from skincare and face care products, people also use Cherry Blossom in shampoos because of its revitalising capabilities that strengthen the hair follicles. Moreover, as Cherry Blossom has cleansing properties, it can effectively clean your scalp of dandruff and dirt buildup. #TwitterNatureCommunity #TwitterNaturePhotography #NaturePhotograhpy

Sounds terrible. @Ryanair what are you doing? Not even any water on flights ? @RyanairPress @askryanair @TourismIreland I think #Ryanair is Irish owed. We love Ireland! Seems so out of place to have such horrible service. Please share you terrible @Ryanair experiences with us

Off grid in the Yukon no electricity, no indoor plumbing, no wifi or cell service, but who needs it when you have bison hot dogs 😃
