Apparently the big explosion of cherry blossoms in High Park happened to be during the week I was too busy (and lazy) to get myself and my cameras over to shoot it. But last weekend I decided to plan nothing social and instead get some stuff done — including a visit to High Park to see what remained of the blossoms.

On more than one occasion (ha) I’ve stated my dislike for pink, but in nature I find it completely acceptable and — dare I say it — appealing!

I love magnolia trees (I miss the one beside our house in Scranton *sniff*), and this one held on for me last weekend.

Spring also marks the start of wedding season, which means I’m busy learning the techniques used for wedding photography to prepare for three weddings I’m shooting this year: in Germany, Vancouver, and Toronto. I’ll be the principal photographer in the Canadian weddings.

The good weather brought the crowds to High Park, but I did manage to nab one photo with just a father and son that I really liked:

Last, but not least, a question for Mr. Woodchuck (this is for Helma, because she calls it a woodchuck rather than a groundhog):

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

    I have a beautiful cherry tree in my yard - it’s one of the highlights of “Spring” in Seattle. (Spring, of course, in quotes because it’s still freezing here - I wore a turtleneck sweater today!!)

    Well Gail, I am very sure the woodchuck coul chuck quite a bit of wood if he would put his mind to it. He does a terrific job on everything else in my garden.
