I love the contrasts between the trees in this photo, some with an abundance of leaves and others with bare branches.

Some beautiful blossoms for the end of the month.

Cool temperatures have pushed aside the warm days. It isn’t enough to pull out the parka but I wear a sweater under my jacket. Rain slicks the city streets for my morning walk. The cold, damp weather is a minor inconvenience. It signals another growth spurt ahead.

The rain makes the trees even more green.

The bench looks forlorn in the rain.

Green isn’t the only colour I see along my walk. Presenting for your enjoyment, the colours of Spring in Toronto.

A blush of pink across the road.

Pure white decorates the cemetery.

These red tulips almost look like they’re puckering up for a kiss.

This bright yellow almost rivals the sun!

A soft, relaxing purple amidst the green.

What a difference two days makes! Now the leaves are so plentiful they almost blot out the building. Soon it won’t be visible at all!

The weather is so warm I have been able to trade my coat for a jean jacket on several of my walks. Around me, the trees and bushes are taking full advantage of this unusually warm April. An explosion of life bursts forth.

The sun shows the first buds of life on the trees beside the bridge.

Even against the brilliant blue you can see the beginning of the flurry of leaves.

The grass has been eager to turn green. These trees will soon follow suit.

A slight sprinkle of leaves. Watch for the change in just a few days!

The juxtaposition of the old church against the modern office tower makes me think of how we try to live in the past and future. What happens to the present?

The emptiness will seem so much livelier once the flowers arrive.
