buds still closed (Update!)

i did not take this photo.

I am determined to not miss the cherry blossoms in High Park this year.

Determined!

Did you know there's a website (more than one, actually) that tracks the progress of the blooms?

Thank goodness there is!

Latest updates:

March 26: Buds still closed.

April 2: Buds still closed

April 12: Buds starting to turn green.

And on the High Park site it says:

No blooming expected for the weekend of April 20-21.

Check back April 23 for updates.

Sigh.

As soon as I get wind of blooms,

I'm hightailing it to the park, camera in tow.

Gotta love life in the big city.

Update: April 22 - buds are swelling!

Maybe this weekend!
