Monday evening, after I watched Captain America: Civil War at the Cineplex theatre at Yonge and Dundas, I stopped by Robarts Library to look for the cherry blossoms.

The cherry trees in Robarts lie in something of a protected microclimate, warmed and sheltered in the southwest by Fort Book. Last year, I had found that the area was so warm that the blossoms here had opened several days before High Park's blossoms. The prospects for cherry blossoms in High Park might be grim, but could the same be said of Robarts'?

Compare this last photo with the one below from my 2013 photo post, taken in a year when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

Maybe I came too late. I hope I didn't, but I don't think I did. Spring was too harsh all over Toronto: There will be no blossoms this year.
