Some pretty cherry blossoms at Toronto’s Edwards Gardens. Yet another place I wasn’t aware had cherry blossoms! Cherry blossoms are my favourite flower and I’m so glad there are many places to find them in Toronto.

More cherry blossoms! When visiting the day before, there were some spots I wanted to photograph but it was a little crowded. So instead, we came back the very next morning. I’m super happy we did as there were little to no people there and the sunlight added some vibrancy to the scene. The blossoms were so pink!

Cherry blossoms are finally blooming! While visiting grandparents at the cemetery, my family noticed that there were several cherry blossom trees littered throughout the area. Strange how I’d never noticed them all these years. Granted, I feel like most Torontonians only see High Park as their cherry blossom central. With things being the way they are this year and last, many of us had to look to other places to get our Sakura fix. I know that personally, I had never looked into other areas in the city with cherry blossoms as I’d always head over to High Park in the past. While it is open to visitors this year (albeit being fenced off), I personally wasn’t about to brave the more than likely huge crowds vying for a chance to take a peek through the fences.
It had just rained a little, and the sky was still cloudy, so the lighting couldn’t have been better! I always love overcast lighting when shooting flowers or trees outdoors as it is effortless and beautiful diffused lighting. This was a really good photography day for me! It was also nice to just stand underneath the trees, breathe deep, and to relax for a small moment.

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!
