Take a Closer Look

(DETM April 2024 Newsletter)

Greetings!

It’s still cool but the sun is out in BC. We are so lucky that in New Westminster, we have a beautiful board walk (Quay) along the Fraser River.  The city keeps different blooming plants out during the whole Spring/Summer season. Hundreds of people were out for a walk on a beautiful Easter Sunday, but few were stopping to enjoy the beauty of the flowers, close up.

 

Right now, the daffodils are starting to die down, and the violets are in full bloom (above).

In a few weeks, all of the tulips will be in full bloom, but a few early ones were already out (above).

In addition, the plum and cherry blossoms are in their full glory.

 

Slow down and enjoy the colours of Spring in your neighborhood!

 

Sincerely,

 

Dave Emery
