Cherry Blossoms at High Park 2011

May is here and it is a month when Cherry Blossoms started to show its beauty. It is known as Japanese Cherry Hill CherryOriental Cherry or East Asian Cherry. It is sometimes called "Sakura".


Every year, many photo-journalist in Toronto would venture out and roam around in High Park at this time of  year to witness the blossoming wonders of the Cherry Blossoms. Yesterday, I went there equipped with my blissful camera. The weather was not that charming, but it doesn't mean that I could not take few pictures of the Cherry Blossoms. There were many people when I came, they were also taking photos and others were just sight seeing.

Here are my few takes without photoshop. Heaven knows how I don't like photoshop, but sometimes as the person explored the world of photography, photoshop is expected. However, the pictures below aren't photoshop because I wanted to post it originally as it taken. As I said earlier, weather was not that cooperative, it must have been great if the sun were shining and the sky was blue.





It was perfect timing when I took a shot of the bird above the Cherry Blossoms. 


The sky was smoky grey. 


I thought at first it's totally  pink, but it is slightly pinkish. 


yet...it's absolutely white. 



Lovers were also enjoying the view and forgive me if I sneaked. (just hoping that they would not stumble upon my blog :-) 


though the weather was not that great, the amazing Cherry Blossoms gave the whole park a glow. 


i definitely stole a shot when this girl pose for a picture. 


it was an amazing experience how this beautiful cherry blossoms smiled at my camera. 


totally loved its color..


i was really looking for a good focus when I stumbled on this one. 


I will definitely come back when some of the petals would turn to slightly pink or into more pinkish before it's gone. I hope the weather would also open up and shared its brightness for my next visit.

Never, Ever Forget

Your presence in this world is not by accidents You were born through love without regrets; Your mom and your dad were happy when you came, Your existence is a gift without dread or shame.

Romance vs. Reality

The first time I set my eyes on him, I thought it was love at first sight . Geez. Geez… that’s what I thought. Ah, well—who wouldn’t? Hot. Gorgeous. Oh, crap—those tantalizing eyes that took my breath away. And lips that could launch a thousand sighs ( tsek, tsek! ). Butterflies in my stomach flipping inside and out. My heart beating like a tambourine ( tsug! tsug! ). And I couldn’t take my eyes off him. What was wrong with me? Here’s the thing about Italians—they know they’re at the top of the “most attractive people on earth” list. According to what study? Oh, you know… the highly scientific “Who’s the Most Good-Looking, Gorgeous, Hot Specimen on Earth” study. In Eat, Pray, Love , Elizabeth Gilbert described Italians as “devilishly attractive, cruelly handsome, and surprisingly muscular.” And yes—I wholeheartedly admit that I was once a victim of such a cruelly handsome Italian guy. Too cool to be real, as a matter of fact. But yeah. I was. And yes—too bad. Y...

Call of the Wild

Pretty sure, you've seen them (You may noticed I used "her/him"pronoun-instead of "it". I would like to think that they are part of this universe too, alive and kicking (not just another kinda of thing) . When I took a visit at the Toronto Zoo, they seemed so excited to see me. I couldn't stop clicking my camera, they were so lovable. If I could come inside and hug them (Yeah--,and they're going to eat me- lol!) The Camel (With a Vow) Matchie's Tree Kangaroo ( he ate something when i took this) he was sleeping but i sneaked in.... Santa's Reindeer (on the loose from Santa's grip) Przewalski's Horse (The Mongolian wild horse), is the only wild horse in existence today. Until recently,this species roamed the mountains and deserts of Central Asia- but has not been seen in the wild since 1968. Just give him Banana, he seems fine with that!  The Zebra (At last...) when i took a pic...
