Signs of Spring in February 2024

with milder temperatures and rain instead of snow we’re seeing buds, sprouts and even flowers

In many parts of the world this is hardly unusual but it’s very unusual in Toronto to see signs of spring this early.

Tonight the temperatures are dropping by 20 celsius degrees, +9 to -11. Earlier today I was overdressed and when I went out later in the day I quickly felt how much the temperatures were dropping and I was very much underdressed.

Sunday Trees – February 18, 2024

a canopy of Bare Bones

One of my favourite walkways in Colonel Sam Smith Park. It changes with every season. Even in the winter the bare bones of these majestic trees invite you to walk along the path.
