Stanley Park (Part 2) and Downtown Vancouver, BC

From 7/17/2013 to 8/2/2013, I took a road trip from the SF Bay Area to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Half of the trip was spent driving up the west coast. On my trip, I visited many famous places such as Seattle, Butchart Gardens, Mount Rainier, and much more. Obviously I got many coastal shots and many places that isn't as famous. The reason I am posting it now is because the high amount of photos I took equaled a high amount of processing time. I took a bit over 2000 photos on the trip. After stitching the panoramas, compositing the HDRs, and picking out photos from the repeats, I have a bit over 1000 photos to show you guys. The photos will be split into parts. I will link you to the previous and next parts on each post just like I did with my Death Valley National Park photos and my Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Park photos. Hope you enjoy viewing this chain of posts!

Close up shot of a water lily. Didn't notice there were so many bugs on there! On the left is the shadow from my lens. Had to really lean on the deck to get this shot. 

Walking back towards my car. Another few photos of that tree stump.

Didn't have much time in downtown Vancouver, so I quickly shot off a few photos from the car as we drove through the town.
