rfmcdonaldThe spray of young daffodils scattered on the slope of this park just south of Dupont and Dufferin was cheerful.
Spring sunshine, in Dufferin Grove Park.
The literal depths of this park, far below the levels of the surrounding streets and neighbourhoods, is noteworthy.
The wall on the northern side of Harbord Street, looking out onto Bickford Park, is apparently the last legacy of an ambitious program that aimed to fill in much of the bed of the old Garrison Creek. The deep valley in Bickford Park, geologically connected to the depths of Christie Pits, is as far south as Garrison Creek's visible remnants go.
This tree, either a black walnut or a black locust, is apparently the old tree in Trinity Bellwoods Park. Located in the southeastern corner of that park, the tree borders tennis courts; the rim of the fence surrounding the playing field is visible at the bottom of the photo. The courts were apparently moved a few metres to the east in order to avoid encroaching on the tree's roots.
Looking north into High Park from the Queensway, this is what you see.
