This September, I spent a few weekends taking pictures in High Park, and in other parks in Toronto. Here are some of the results, including beautiful flowers (I cannot name), Wood Ducks (both male and female), and a Canada Goose that my dog amber was chasing.

| A pretty red flower. Anybody know what kind it is? |

| Brilliant orange flower. Is anyone good at flower identification? |

| Lots of ants crawling over this magnificent pink flower. |
If you are not familiar with High Park birds, Wood Ducks are very abundant in the pond right by the children's playground, as well as the north side of Grenadier Pond. They are very beautiful and are not afraid to approach humans, so they are easy photos!
Also, the autumn landscape anywhere in the park is quite colourful in late September to early November. High Park is quite a nice place for birding, photography, and other recreational activities even though it is so close to a busy, urban environment.
