Haha he was so cute, but I was too shy to ask if I could grab a shot of him and his mother and you guys were getting up.

Stunning pictures. I just came back from Japan and got to see the blossoms there. It was certainly a big celebration. Just a few quick snap from my camera phone and S90 (haven't processed my DSLR images yet).

Wow, those in Japan are so much fuller and thicker than those at High Park! Did they send us their second grade trees?

High Park is a lot more boring in this regard

How well do the blooms hold up?? My daughter was down with fever this weekend so had to give it a miss Planning to go next week. Will I get anything??

some trees on the south end (not in the big group at the hill) looked to me like they were not yet in full bloom.

Tonnes of people though. Nice to see people enjoying the trees, but I'm too antisocial for that, I much more enjoyed the smaller groups of trees (south of the big maple leaf) where there were almost no people.

we drove by the ones they have downtown Burlington by the Lake at Spencer Smith Park. they are in full bloom as well.
didn't have my camera on me though! and we didn't have time to stop anyways

If I'm coming by the Lakeshore GO train Mimico appears to be the best stop, can I get to High Park station easily from there?

Nice shot.

^^^I agree^^^^
Your photo isn't just of the blossoms. It's a photo of a huge story involving blossoms. Congrats.

I was there today. They're in great shape but possibly starting to wilt as evidenced by some of the brown in these:

All aboard the Sakura train!




And a Treebeard

Well, I'm going to showcase a little.

Another from the 20th

don't feel bad, I've been here for almost 40 and haven't gone just for the blossoms. And I grew up romping in HP!

A lot of awesome photos posted here!

Do any of you know how long the cherry blossoms with last in High Park?

Thanks
Mike

WOW!!!

Had an engagement shoot last Saturday morning. It was great as there wasn't a lot of peoople there.

I will be there again this Sat and this Sunday for 2 more engagement shoots! Everyone seems to like these cherry blossoms!







And there's more to High Park than those cherry blossoms!

GREAT shot! Looks like you're in Japan!

umm...

Similar to my previous one.

I went again today, and there was just as many people. The blossoms were fluttering, but lacking a model, couldn't really get the petals in the pictures when people were in the right positions. However, I did get an awesome one today that I'll post tomorrow. I believe it is one of the best I've taken all year.

Okay, I know you're all waiting for it, so here it is.

What do you guys think?

Niceee!

Here are two that I took a few days ago.

So any verdict on how much will be left tomorrow?

These were taken from my next door neighbours

was there this morning 6am-8am.

still lotsa colour (not pure white, some doses of pink), but the flowers were starting to fall. supposedly the rain tonight / tomorrow will do it for this year.
