I brought my camera with me during an evening walk and snapped some photos of these blossoms. I usually prefer warm tones to go along with my flower photography but in this case, I loved how the cooler purple and blue colouring makes these images seem magical and ethereal.
I haven’t been able to photograph a good sunset in a while. This was mostly due to missing them because of the sun setting way too early and not being able to get to my prime locations in time. Even here, I’m not so pleased that I realized the sky was erupting so late but I’m glad I was able to capture it regardless.
Our second visit to Brickworks this year, and on Halloween to boot! As you may remember, the 31st was also the last day before daylight savings ended. I really wanted to venture out and take advantage of that hour of sunlight we’d be losing. Under normal circumstances, we would be giving out chocolate to the kids, but this year we decided that it would be for the best if we skipped out.
Instead we decided to head out for some fresh air and beautiful nature. On a normal weekend, there would definitely be a lot more people out and about so bring a mask just in case. But on Halloween, I had a feeling that many people would be at home and that Brickworks would be more or less deserted. Last weekend, there were larger crowds out but as I had hoped, not so much on Halloween. We were able to head off on a longer trail and I was able to get some photos I was really happy with. This time, the whole family was out with no time constrictions so we were able to stay for a lot longer compared to the week before.
I really enjoy coming here and it’s so peaceful to be just surrounded by nature. The trees are definitely emptier now so this might have been our last autumn visit, sadly.
In Toronto, Evergreen Brickworks is the place to be during fall. No matter where you go, you’re surrounded by vivid, autumn leaves. If you decide to venture up higher, there are many trails you can lose yourself in. If not, there are places to explore down below. Either way, this is definitely a place where you do not want to rush your way through. If you let yourself absorb the views surrounding you, you won’t regret it!
I got a call from a friend telling me to go outside if I could. She saw that the sky was turning into a brilliant sunset and had to let me know in case I was missing it. Funny thing is, I was! I appreciate the people that let me know when something is happening sky-wise! I wasn’t able to head off to my usual haunts but I’m happy I still got something.
The cemetery is one of my go to places to take photos of autumn foliage. Surrounded by trees, it’s hard not to find one that isn’t covered by red and orange leaves. If you’re ever lucky to be here during golden hour, it sure is a treat on the eyes!
Some shots of Toronto’s winter at Withrow Park. I love when snow turns the whole landscape silent and you really are able to connect with nature. It sounds cheesy, I know, but it’s one of the only things I look forward to every winter.
