Cherry Blossoms in High Park!

High Park is full of cherry blossom trees, and in May, they suddenly all bloom at once.  We were keeping an eye on them while we were going for our morning runs, and they were starting to bloom on Thursday, so we organised to go to the park with a friend on Saturday morning to check them out.  

It was really beautiful!   




But the entire place was packed with people - it's 15 degrees and that's the warmest it's been here for quite a while.  We took Jax with us, and he was a hit - people even wanted their photo taken with him.  I'm guessing it's because he's a Japanese breed that's not very common here, and the majority of the crowd was people of Asian descent.  I guess looking at cherry blossoms is a stereotypically Japanese pasttime too :)

People were even making origami cranes and hanging them from the trees :)

Blue sky!

The daffodils are starting to come out as well!  Spring in Toronto!
