More cherry blossoms at Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto! The sky was very cloudy but the park was quiet. The cherry blossoms were fenced off so I had to improvise and take photos through the fencing. Here’s hoping next year we’ll be able to experience the blossoms here a little closer.

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!

Spring has sprung! While visiting grandparents at the cemetery, I couldn’t help but notice these beautiful white magnolias. 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!

These photos were taken back when these flowers were the first I spotted during spring. They were so tiny, no bigger than my pointer finger, and I was so happy knowing that spring was on its way. Every year, I can’t help but look forward to warmer weather, longer days, and easier photographic opportunities.

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.

Flowers taken during a cemetery visit. A week later, the yellow flowers were nowhere to be found! They were completely uprooted. Made me glad I got photos just in time.
