May Flowers

Hello world!
The weather is warming up again and the sun has been shining so much lately! My best friend Hibah suggested that we visit High Park in the west end of Toronto. It is best known for its beautiful cherry blossom trees, and it was the perfect backdrop for plenty of spring-themed photo sessions for the two of us. 

It was really unfortunate that only one of the trees was in full bloom, because the park would have been absolutely stunning! However, the terribly harsh winter that Toronto experienced the last couple of months and the extremely late entrance into spring made it so that the rest of the trees weren't able to bloom properly. Hopefully later on in the year they will catch up with the single one in the park!

I thought it would nice to share some pictures that we took, just as a fun post and a way to show case the best of Toronto!

Cherry blossoms are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, aren't they?

The website to High Park can be found here. It is definitely worth the visit, just a walk away from High Park subway station!
There is even a website dedicated to beautiful cherry blossoms in High Park which can be found here.

Hibah and I absolutely LOVE just walking around Toronto, exploring different parts of the city and all it has to offer. We visited the Ripley's Aquarium the second day it was even open! I think it's so worth it to discover all your city has to offer, you never know when you could end up finding such a beautiful spot to take photos!

What about you? What parts of your city do you think deserve more attention? Do you enjoy exploring different areas where you live?

Lots of love,

P.S. I didn't realize that I named this post "April Flowers" accidentally until later on, which is why the url to this post is confusing, haha! This is all a learning process. (:
