As far as I'm concerned, the best Saturdays are spent outdoors. I love getting out for a long bike ride on Saturdays and am going to try to do this most weekends this spring/summer as long as the weather cooperates. Yesterday the bf and I decided to enjoy the somewhat warm Toronto weather and headed out for a long bike ride along the waterfront to High Park. We wanted to get outdoors and see the cherry blossoms in the park. Here are some things I saw:
 |
| rowing practice |
 |
| lots of water and seagulls |
 |
| First soft serve this year. Worth the 10 min. wait in line |
 |
| dogs swimming |
 |
| beautiful cherry blossoms |
 |
| So many people came out to adore these trees. It was like a sea of white flowers. |
 |
| Unfortunately the High Park Zoo has lost funding and is set to close down this June. This is really sad because it's a free and accessible activity for children and families. It was also the first zoo to open in Canada (in 1893). You can donate here. |

| I enjoy watching the bison |
Happy Sunday!

woah! I didn't know they had bison there.
OMG, those buffalo are so beautiful. We have a herd here on Long Island (managed by a local businessman).
I agree with you about spending Saturdays outdoors -- to the point where it's become my new philosophy of life. I love going into nature, etc. as an antidote to working indoors all week.
Looks lovely!! I always wanted to try rowing...my cousin in England does it and I've always wanted to try. When I visited her in Vancouver BC, she took me to her rowing club...I wish I could! And now I want to go for a bike ride and eat soft serve :)
Shybiker - I also have an office job and completely agree. If I could be outside at least one day a week, hiking, riding my bike or reading in the park I would be in heaven! I am going to try harder to make that happen this summer.
Freya Lily - I did rowing this past fall through my work for about two months. It was a great way to get outside and also get some exercise. I stopped because it took me to long to get to the ports from work. If you have an opportunity to do viking rowing do it!
I love bike rides, and that soft serve has me wanting one now, like right now!
