Yes I am aware that these are not cherries.

My displaced Toronto partner is having a great time with these. As am I. (I said High Park and she said "Cherry Blossoms! I miss Cherry Blossoms.")

Aww. It's the nicest thing. I don't even mind that it's crowded.

The thing is gorgeous! I love your cherry blossom photos and the wood duck.

Not bad for an ancient iPhone (I figured I shouldn't push it with my heavy camera today).

Lovely photos! My not-so-ancient iPhone SE doesn't take photos like that, so it's got to be photographer skill. Are you using the default Photo app?

[sabotabby]

Yup! It's an iPhone 8. I edit them in Photoshop to bump up the colours. And take about a gazillion pictures to choose the 10 or so that came out decently.

Photographer skill, like I said. :-) I really like the increased contrast, and how sharp-edged the blossoms are.

Great shots. Bravo for braving the crowds. And yeah, winter should not be lasting into May. I demand my Charter right to drink beer on a sunny patio, damnit!

eta: where are those cool carvings, BTW?
