A blooming tree in summer. Almost looks like something otherworldly would live here.

High Park Cherry Blossoms on May 11th, 2018.
Digital, 2018.
Cherry blossom season is here! High Park is a well known spot in Toronto to catch a glimpse of the pretty Sakura blossoms. Cherry blossoms are my favourite flowers and so I was super excited to be able to see them up close. We visited just in time as some trees were starting to look a little bare. One good rainfall with a bit of wind and that would be the end of that!
Edwards Gardens on May 5th, 2018.

Edwards Gardens is one of those places that just feels different. Magical, almost? These shots certainly feel that way as they’re vacant of people and you can just immerse yourself into the scene. That gazebo was empty but even in broad daylight, I didn’t want to venture closer to see what was inside…

Frozen Niagara on January 7th, 2018.
Digital, 2018.
These are some of my favourite photos ever. I love Niagara Falls and have visited during every season, but nothing will ever beat this. In a rare deep freeze, the water down below froze solid. The ice covering the branches was a few centimetres deep. I honestly have never seen anything like it. It was like the ice storm in Toronto x10. It felt like something out of the movie Frozen. I’m sure these photos look cold enough, right? I can assure you it was so much colder in person. I was worried about my camera malfunctioning. The watery mist was no where to be found and in its place was a light sprinkling of snow. I was wearing mittens and while they kept my hands warm, I was constantly taking them off as operating my camera became difficult with them on. Which lead to my hands becoming beet red and numb. It was a process but would I do it all over again? Absolutely.

These photos were taken a few minutes apart. It started to snow and it started to snow hard. It made the drive home a little difficult but it made for some beautiful photos and scenery!

Always bring your camera with you, even when its for a walk in the park during winter.
Autumn Foliage on November 4th, 2017.

Toronto Brickworks along with Chester Hill are two of my favourite spots to take photos of autumn leaves. There’s always a wide view which allows you to see all the leaves on display.
Pink Autumn Skies on October 28th, 2017.
Digital, 2017.
I was indoors when I noticed some interesting light coming through the window. I headed outside and the sky was lit up in the prettiest pink shade! It was amazing as the whole sky was uniform and didn’t look like a specific cloud formation. Almost as if someone had some real life Photoshop ability to change the sky from blue to pink. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
