[POST-FINALEXAMS] A day at the Nitobe Memorial Garden

Today started off not much different from the past 200+ days of my life. I woke up, got out of bed, took a shower, skipped breakfast - nothing out of the norm. All of this, the same as any other day, except with a completely different mindset. No longer did I have to worry about upcoming assignments, exams! My mind was filled with hearts and chocolates :3

So I wasn't sure exactly what to do as I hadn't thought of planning ahead (which should be one of my goals as well this year too) so I decided to head down to the Nitobe Memorial Garden to have some time to myself and some exercise (if you consider walking an exercise) and pretty much just enjoy the few days I have left in Vancouver before I head to Taiwan for summer!

And there I was finding myself surrounded by all these cherry blossom trees, all this green and pink and all I could think of was "WHY DIDN'T I COME HERE EARLIER!" I'm not sure if it's only this pretty during Spring because of the cherry blossoms but the sight amazed me and I had to stop so many times while I was enjoying my walk down nature avenue to capture the stunning scenery before me with my phone camera. I wouldn't say I'm a photographer (I don't know anything about photography!) but I do love taking photos and I think that's all that really matters. I don't think it's that much of a necessity to understand all the details of light, pixels, and colors as long as I enjoy the photos I take and as long as I'm happy with the results. In particualr, I like to take pictures of things with the theme of 'color' in mind. Oh, and I'm a sucker for cherry blossoms, they're really a gift from the heavens. Without furthur ado, a couple pictures I took today with my Galaxy Note 2's camera. Enjoy :)
