Haze in the sky resulted in this stunning sunset where you could see the sun as a defined circle in the sky. This in turn lead into a gorgeous pink and purple sky once the sun started to sink below the horizon.

My first visit to Toronto’s Shrine Peace Memorial. The memorial serves as a symbol of friendship and peace between Canada and the United States. It’s located on the CNE grounds and there are flower gardens nearby.
The sky was very hazy on the day we chose to visit. This resulted in really lovely subdued even lighting. Overcast skies are my preferred choice of lighting whenever I’m shooting outdoors. It’s easier to achieve soft and well exposed photos. Sunny days usually result in harsh shadows and uneven lighting which isn’t what I’m usually trying to achieve.
When photographing the allium flowers (the circular flowers that look like fireworks), I unluckily walked into a spiderweb. I felt something on my face and went to wipe it off. All I remember seeing is a speck of black on my palm with many legs. Maybe it was an ant. But with my luck and fear of spiders, it was probably a spider. I didn’t check to see what it was as I immediately started shaking my hand. Did I shriek a little? Why yes, yes I did.

The CN Tower as seen from Toronto’s harbourfront. A wonderful place to relax and sightsee during summer. The wind coming off the lake is always so pleasant and the view is like no other.

Sometimes sunsets don’t pan out the way you thought and you end up with a gorgeous dusk shot instead.

Intense summer sunsets are the best kinds of summer sunsets. The last two photos were taken five minutes apart and I love seeing how sunsets can change in such a short amount of time.

A water fountain taken during blue hour in Toronto. The calm waves were so captivating to watch in person. I couldn’t resist taking a video to post to my Reels on Instagram!

I’m so happy I got to capture this sunset here. A soft sunset to go with calm waters. Photographing an intense sunset here is on my photography bucket list but until then, I’ll think of this one!

This is an example of the type of sunset I look forward to every summer! One that’s bright, vivid, and gets the whole city talking. These two images were taken exactly 5 minutes apart. I couldn’t choose between one or the other so I kept them both. One of my favourite things about sunsets like these is how their colour and cloud formations change.

The Toronto skyline surrounded by clouds. I was sunset chasing and snapped this one before the sunset as I really loved how fluffy the clouds were. If you couldn’t tell, the Toronto skyline is one of my favourite photographic subjects.

An intense and vibrant sunset from the beginning of May. The clouds turned yellow and then orange and I was able to capture some stunning shots of the Toronto skyline and the surrounding areas.
