00:05Thousands of visitors descended on Toronto's High Park on Saturday
00:09as the city's cherry blossoms reached peak bloom, turning parts of the park into a canopy of pink and white.
00:17Couples and families took selfies and posed for photos beneath the blossoms
00:21in a seasonal ritual that many residents see as a respite from daily life.
00:25Oh my God, they're beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous.
00:29I've been here for a few years now. We were either too late or too early,
00:33but now we're just in time to see the beautiful cherry blossom trees blossom.
00:39It's nice. It looks beautiful, peaceful.
00:43This is my first time of coming. Seeing this, I think I will come back next year.
00:47The bloom's timing, often difficult to predict, is closely watched by locals on the park's website,
00:54where they track the tree's progress to stage six, marking peak bloom.
00:58Despite a lingering spring chill, visitors said the blossoms signaled the arrival of warmer weather.
