it's family day weekend here in toronto and son and little onyx were over for the weekend. brought them for pancake brunch then went to see the ice sculptures uptown. it was rather disappointing as there weren't enough exhibits and, it being a holiday weekend and the temps were quite decent (we reached plus 6), there were of course too many people, rowdy and rude. and smelly. after thirty minutes i had the brilliant idea to go to the allen gardens but there was construction as the main palm section of the garden was being renovated. the young boy was getting bored so they made their way to my sister's. i stayed and explored the park and found that the other wing of the garden was open so i went in and took some photos of cyclamen and daffodils. found this at a corner where the door to the palm area was shut close.
