As you leave Colonel Danforth Park- behind the forest and trees become more dense and it's true beauty stands out. I set this shot up with ISO 100, 15mm, f/10, 0.5sec. and my Cameron HSS240-N TTL Flash system with a flash in a nearby tree to my right and another to the left lighten the ground by the far side of the trees. I took several pics and finally got this shot that I liked. 1 disappointment I never noticed the 2x4's until I got home. With rain coming in I will go back and try it again without the damn boards.
High up on a hill the tree roots will grip anything in it's power to hold on and still be a tangled mess of natures beauty.
A picture of armourstone in the main branch of the Highland Creek. Armourstone reinforces the river bank and helps prevent erosion. Heavy use of artificial river reinforcements such as these are typical in highly urbanized watersheds such as the Highland Creek Watershed.
A beautiful, peaceful ravine park in eastern Scarborough. A scenic trail meanders south along the creek through Lower Highland Creek Park, connecting with East Point Park and the Port Union Waterfront Park on the shores of Lake Ontario. Toronto is blessed with lush ravines and waterfronts, and this park system in eastern Scarborough is one of its best examples.

Colonel Danforth Park, Toronto
April 11, 2012
Apparently, these are chamomile wildflowers growing along a rocky path next to a local Toronto creek. Thank you encyclopediabotanica for the identification.
Colonel Danforth Park. Two live salmon. They weren't doing much. Just swimming in place against a gentle current.
