We should take a walk. In a City within a Park.

I was not planning to take a walk yesterday morning. I posted a mail in the box outside the building, and the early morning spring air breathed in my face, and I could not resist drinking it.

I crossed the street and headed down the long stretch of road called Linkwood where there's a tiny park.

It was about 16 degrees Celsius or 61 Fahrenheit. Wow. I had a golf shirt underneath a light spring jacket, and I had to take off the jacket.

To my right, the view of the Don Valley ravine was just awesome. The trees ahead the road have gotten back their dark green colors, and looking farther down the ravine, I could see the verdant, lush bush, a glimpse of a walking trail, and some of the birds which have come back from their winter break.

I could hear a few of them while walking. Most were in pairs, but some were alone.

I've lived in this part of the city for thirteen years, and have taken walks before, but only this morning, did I notice how beautiful the ravine is and how lovely the singing of the feathered creatures are.

I passed by a woman walking her small dog, and some kids on their way to school.

In all, I walked about 1. 6 kilometers (two ways). The park was still empty at 8 am. But the highway to the right, heading back, was starting to pile up with cars headed to the busy Don Valley Parkway, for downtown Toronto.

I ignored this sight and looked straight ahead where the road was thick with foliage.

This morning, I took the same walk path. I took my camera to snap some pictures.

It was a little cooler than yesterday, but still people were out walking. Spring is beautiful !
