High Park

High Park is a park in Toronto.

image

It’s kind of like the Edmonton River valley, except much smaller and a much longer drive from home. Unless you can afford one of these homes. Which we cannot.

image

It also has slightly different wildlife.

image

And most of the paths are paved for the train.

image

And some areas look expensive.

image

Very expensive.

image

The off leash park has no grass.

image

There is a swimming pool but I didn’t swim.

image

According to the website there is ample free parking for any day of the year. Which convinced Kerri to drive instead of taking the train. Which is why Kerri had to drive around for 45 minutes looking for a spot.

This tree had fallen into the water.

image

The ducks were different than Edmonton ducks.

image

The boys have red eyes.

image

The chipmunks are pretty much like Alberta chipmunks.

image

But they are way more common in the city.

image

And they seem to be less timid.

image

The woodpeckers are also pretty much the same.

image

The squirrels are big scary grey ones.

image

They are evil. Just look into their eyes and you’ll see…Kerri’s reflection.

image

These ducks are more like Albertan ducks. But not quite.

image

They might be evil too.

image

This is a black-crowned night heron.

image

This is his bottom end when he took off.

image

They also have those “weird pelican things” which we have now seen on 6 different continents. But I bet Matt still can’t remember what they are called.

image

Swans are evil too.

image

And geese.

image

And whatever this floofed up little guy is.
