The first of May brings all kinds of hope for what may be. Can you find the bee in the bloom? Lots of other blossoms finally emerging up the hill. And the Gardener can't resist trying out her latest helper.
No maybe about it, the birds are arriving by the bunches. Purple finches, cardinals, goldfinches, flickers, red-breasted woodpeckers, etc. This year's awesome first ever ---- an exquisite bluebird!!
Fox always on patrol. Snow late in the week. Full rainbow reflecting on the bay ---- double good luck??
Back in the city it's time for Sakura, the annual spectacle of the Japanese cherry blossoms. But we're a few days early, only buds so far. Forsythia and bulbs are out but the main event next week ----- May Be?
A day trip to Toronto Islands, first return in years. Vintage ferry ---- why replace these charmers? But also original houses, Bookmobile service, frisbee golf, and lots of pleasure boats getting ready.
Another first, this time in the city. The Viking Octantis has arrived on its maiden voyage from being built in Norway. Biggest cruise ship on the Lakes! Look it up ----- extremely technologically advanced ship for Great Lakes and Antarctic cruises. Innovative features, scientific research component, very $$$$.
Beautiful warm day, like a starting gun for the outdoor season. Multiple water taxis load up for several directions. Promenade full of sun seekers. Harbour full of wind seekers. A guy and his ragtop (been there, done that)! But watch it buddy, the girls are coming. Are they after the guy --- or the car??
