The Winter was very long and cold. We are at the end of April and still Spring is shy. Hopefully May will bring a mix of late Spring and late blooms that will be amazing to view everywhere we go. I am posting a few photos taken over the years during my travels that I made into Greeting Cards for this Spring. Hope you enjoy them.

I went to High Park this sunny Good Friday, to see if the Japanese Cherrie Trees were blooming. For my disappointment, they are late booming this year.

On my way back home I stopped at Queen's Park and saw some Japanese Cherry Trees on full blooming. Took a few photos. They are beautiful!
