I brought my camera with me to the cemetery and found a bunch of lovely flowers to photograph. We usually associate flowers with spring but there are definitely some gorgeous ones that pop up in the summer!

The first sunset of summer! We were definitely blessed by Mother Nature on this evening. The clouds in the afternoon looked wispy and hazy and I had a strong hunch we would be getting an intense sunset. And let me say, I really love it when I’m right!
One of my favourite things is just seeing the sky transform and change during sunsets like these. The sky changes from yellow to orange to red to pink and purple. I’m always snapping away, taking a million photos and trying to balance that out with trying to enjoy the spectacle before me.
I can only hope we have a bunch more of sunsets like these ahead of us!

First official day of summer, here we are! After what felt like forever, it has arrived! I’m not quite sure what kind of flowers these are, but they are so pretty! The tree pictured in the first two photos was a lot bigger than it looks. I felt so calm and at peace standing underneath it. It almost felt like a whole different world where sound was muted and the sunlight peeking through the leaves was warm and bright.
And like most floral related things this year, when we came back a week later, most of the flowers had sadly already dried up.

A calm shot of a scene straight out of my backyard. It was a warm evening, the sun was setting, and the beautiful flowers were blooming.

A beautiful sunset at the beginning of June. I was really happy with the way the sky transformed on this day. This wasn’t the most intense sunset I’ve seen but it’s definitely beautiful!

Here are some beautiful peonies from the backyard. After getting shots of them as is, I wanted to play around with water droplets on their petals. So for that, I filled a spray bottle with water and ventured back into the backyard. I sprayed water around four or five times with a fine mist for the desired effect. Too much and the water droplets pooled together and fell right off the petal. I’m quite happy with the results!

Close up photos of pine needles during spring. I debated on what colour scheme I should go for for this set and ultimately decided on a cool aqua tone instead of a warm green one (what they actually looked like). I wanted to experiment with colour a bit and I really like the way these turned out!
