A collection of images taken at Colonel Samuel Park during a summer afternoon in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I thought the various landscapes and waterscapes here were so beautiful.

As dark clouds rolled in and the air felt heavy with upcoming rain, I couldn’t help but laugh at this mallard duck that seemed to take shelter under this chair.

I can’t believe I was able to get so close to this guy or gal. They were chomping away at some branches and didn’t seem to mind my being there. Even so, I kept my distance as this was my first time seeing a beaver up close and wasn’t familiar with their behaviour.

Dandelions in sunlight. Yes, they’re weeds but they’re so gorgeous when the sun shines down on them. There were so many and their tops were illuminated so nicely and looked like tiny little halos.

The Toronto skyline during late spring and the skyline during twilight. The sunset wasn’t as intense as I was hoping but I’m really happy with the skyline shot. I looked over and saw all the pretty white flowers and I knew I had to snap a photo. It was such a spring scene and it made me so happy seeing it in person. We came back around a week later and the hill was completely grassy, no white flowers. Just goes to show how anything in spring disappears so quick if you aren’t fast enough.

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.

Some shots from a visit to the cemetery. I was a little more liberal with my editing with these ones. Instead of staying true to colour, I wanted to go for a colour scheme that was a little more fantastical and a little more whimsical.
