Flowers, Ferns, & Furballs

I just found some photos I took last year and had meant to post. Since spring flowers are just around the corner, I thought I'd do some belated sharing anyway and give us all a taste of what we have to look forward to.

I took these magnolia and fern shots at High Park last May...

The Toronto Zoo currently has a pair of pandas in residence. I've seen them a few times now and they're well worth a visit. These shots are of the female, Er Shun. In the last one you can see her shaved belly--that's to facilitate ultrasounds as the zoo attempts to increase the world panda population :)
