My first photos of 2021! They’re just a little bit gloomy but I couldn’t resist capturing the pretty raindrops hanging on for dear life on some of those tree branches.

So, not only did I want to take photos at Brickworks during winter, I got to do that AND do it on Christmas after a snowstorm the night before! This may sound super cheesy, but it really felt like being inside a winter wonderland, or a snow globe after all the shaken snow settled. The snow clung to the trees in a way that doesn’t always happen and the atmosphere was silent. The only sounds in the air was distant chatter and the crunching of snow underneath your feet.
Since this year has been very different, we decided to do something different. Other families had the same idea but luckily, it wasn’t super crowded and people stuck to themselves or their group. I think it’s safe to say that absolutely everyone was in awe at the beauty of nature around them.
I hope that I’ll be able to visit again after another snowstorm. And let’s be frank, in Toronto another snowstorm is guaranteed. I only wish that I’ll be able to get there soon enough before all that fresh snow gets stepped on.

Just my luck that when I am able to venture out in hopes of a sunset, I’m greeted with a scene like this. It couldn’t be more of a rejection from Mother Nature. The Toronto skyline really does look so very different without the CN Tower and with so many skyscrapers being covered by fog. To a Torontonian, scenes like this always look like something from out of a dream.

These photos were taken on the same day as my previous post but I felt that they didn’t belong in that group and instead deserved their own post. These colours act like a placeholder for what winter may bring!

This was my first time visiting Woodbine Park. Born and raised in Toronto, I can’t believe I haven’t visited here before. The skyline was in full view and even though the sky didn’t light up the way I thought it would, I still really love the way the shots came out. I can’t wait to come back and visit when a more promising sunset is on the horizon.

I love when the sky lights up like this. Where the clouds look like little clumps of colour in the sky.

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.
