A collection of some of my favourite images from this winter season. The lake was partially frozen which gave the illusion that the swans were walking on water. I was also happy with the branches in the scene as I could use them to naturally frame the photos.
I consider these photos another example of being at the right place at the right time. For example, I thought the swans looked like they were dancing in the third image. And in the fourth, I was really pleased with the way the branches perfectly framed not only the swans approaching the viewer but the ones in the background, as well. This wintery landscape didn’t last long either, so I’m glad I took these photos when I did.

Some winter landscape photos taken by Lake Ontario on a sunny afternoon. Winter days like this are my favourite kinds of winter days: where the sky is blue and the sun is out in full force. It can be very deceiving on cold days, though. On this day, it was definitely very decieving!

A pink and purple sunset as seen from Ashbridge’s Bay in Toronto. It was so cold on this evening and it was even colder seeing as I was right by the lake. As pretty as the sunset was, we left at the first sign of it fading as we were all starting to lose feeling in our legs.

I ended up taking these photos by chance. My family and I were off to Ashbridge’s Bay for some fresh air when we happened upon this view while looking for parking. I couldn’t help but be drawn to the colour of the sky and the way its colours reflected off the frozen Lake Ontario. Sunset wasn’t due for another little while but if I didn’t know any better, I would think it was already happening.
