Nodding flowers open, more cherry blossoms, and a sunny day

It's been a beautiful day here, except for the pollen driving me crazy.  But anyway, it's sunny and still cool enough to enjoy nice long walks.  This up behind the marine police station at what's called "Police Basin" (very original name, that).

The walkway between this area and the Music Garden closer to home is still a total mess.

I kept thinking that surely I would get a nice wedge of cheese
at the end.  I was disappointed.

Up at the Spadina Quay Wetlands, those nodding buds have opened into ... er, this?

Nearby are some little white bell flowers:

In the garden proper, the lilacs are in full bloom.

And the cherry trees are starting to shed their blossoms.

In one shady area, there are these pretty white flowers amongst the ferns.
