Rouge River on October 10th, 2020.

This was my second time visiting Rouge River. It’s hard to believe that the first was back in 2014 for my university thesis. To me, this is one of those places that I feel like I have visited multiple times. I had always wanted to come back but never found the time. For many of us, all we have right now is time so we made an afternoon of it.
Rouge River in autumn is stunning. If you’re lucky to be here during golden hour, you’re in for a treat! For the majority of our stay, the sky was cloudy and it even started to rain at one point. This didn’t bother me as I love shooting under overcast lighting and the rain made for some lovely gloomy shots of the lake. Cue everyone running for shelter and me with the biggest smile, camera aimed at the lake.
Not too long after, the sun came out and bathed everything in a warm, orange glow. You can see which photos were taken during this short lived golden hour and which were not. The foliage glows yellow and orange and the whole scene transforms into something more ethereal.
When we visited again a week later, the leaves didn’t look much different. I’d like to visit one more time to get the leaves at their peak but as I write this, it is late October, and it just might be a tad too late. I would love to go back during winter or right after a snow storm to capture winter shots for the first time. Fingers crossed!

After visiting grandparents at the cemetery, I really enjoy walking around and taking photos whenever I can. My favourite lighting is either golden hour or overcast skies. In the later afternoons, it’s usually quiet and it’s very grounding being surrounded by nature.
The flowers belonged to a woman who passed away a few years ago. It was her birthday on that very day and friends or family left her flowers with well wishes. I don’t know this woman but it moved me knowing that years later, she has people that still drop by to give her a present. After snapping the photos, thanked her for letting me, wished her happy birthday, and continued on my walk.

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 autumn foliage in the cemetery. These shots are some of my favourite I’ve taken of autumn leaves. Orange skies and orange leaves truly seem to be the way to my heart.

The traffic lights are truly matching the background in this one.

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.

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.
