I took a photo of this bare plant by the lake and when editing, I wanted to play around with the colours. I got to this hazy pink version and liked the way it looked so I kept it as the final version.
Year after year, it’s always exciting when spring rolls around and nature begins to wake. Bird watching by the lake has quickly become one of my favourite pastimes.
The Toronto skyline as seen from Tommy Thompson Park on a sunny first day of spring. I always enjoy being able to see the skyline from different vantage points and Tommy Thompson Park definitely delivers!
A calm view of a blue Lake Ontario during the first day of spring. Taken on a sunny day in Toronto’s Tommy Thompson Park, I was drawn to the way the rocks underwater were a deep shade of green, and the way that colour contrasted with the colours of the lake.
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!
