In High Park - the cherry trees bloom each spring for about a week, usually in April.

It's amazing to see all the trees blooming together, and when the wind blows the petals it looks like snow.

This tree has been painted aqua green, and pale pink flowers have fallen from it after the rainstorm, sticking to the cracked sidewalk.
In Kensington Market, Toronto.
This photo is not quite as bucolic in the uncropped version, seeing as I cut out the road it is sitting by.
This is from exactly one year ago today.
I'll be going back to Dufferin Grove Park today, hopefully there's still some nice flowers on the trees. We had a big rainstorm last night so I'm not that optimistic. I was just getting ready to go out and take photos when the storm suddenly came up. My husband had gone out on a walk a little earlier when the sky was very clear and it seemed like the perfect balmy spring day and within an hour it was pouring and lightening and thunder.
Today it's cool with a light rain, could be good walking weather! Lets hope.
Sometimes High Park feels like being off in the wilderness, then you look up and there's a building on the horizon sticking up like a tombstone.
Not many blossoms left, you can see a lot of them on the ground. This was taken on May 7th.
I used to live near this park and I miss it. For most other stuff I prefer my new neighbourhood. But the park near my new house - Dufferin Grove Park - is on a hill and from it you can see busy Dufferin Street and the lovely Dufferin Mall parking lot. You never get that feeling of being away from the ugly things the way you do at Trinity Bellwoods.
Trees and shadows in high park. Soon this will be a very shady area when the trees get their leaves.
A long exposure taken at night durring a heavy snowfall. Taken from the comfort of my own house! The building in the background is a school.
