PhotoTO: High Park’s Cheery Blossoms

By Miles Storey

High Park Cherry Blossoms by Miles Storey
One of the highlights of spring in Toronto, High Park’s cherry trees are blossoming. The trees, donated to the city by the citizens of Tokyo, are located in a sloping grove near Grenadier Pond and are a wonderful sight at this time of year. The trees are approximately 80% in bloom at the moment, making this weekend the perfect time to visit, as long as heavy rain doesn’t destroy these delicate flowers.
See the rest of our images after the jump or visit the Torontoist Flickr Pool for more!

    Now all we need to do is follow the Tokyo lead and have take a day off work to drink beer under the beautiful blossoms. Surely the police would have no problem with that, right? It’s a nice “cultural exchange”, after all.

    Hey, I always used to take a thermos with white wine in it along with snacks to “Shakespeare in the Park” … ;-)
    I will miss the freedom of drinking alcohol in public places when I move back to Toronto from Tokyo.
    Cheers,
