Red maple leaves lit up by the sun during an autumn afternoon in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The blue sky provides a stark contrast to the bright leaves.
Flowers taken from the backyard during a summer afternoon in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I used a spray bottle filled with water to create clinging water droplets.
I was drawn to the way the late afternoon sun illuminated this landscape of leaves and a garden gate. I used a higher f-stop to get that lovely starburst sun.

We decided to go to a local park for some fresh air and on the off chance that we would be able to spot some autumn foliage. I brought my camera just in case even though I honestly thought I wasn’t going to see anything noteworthy. Wow, was I ever wrong. Many of the trees had already shed their leaves but that meant that the ground was covered in beautiful shades of reds and oranges while the remaining leaves and branches were bathed in warm, golden hour light.
Getting closer to the trees was a bit of a challenge as the ground was very slippery. The mud and wet leaves made walking a bit of a difficulty and my running shoes were not made for terrain like that. This is also a bike path so when trekking out here, it’s best to keep an eye out for bikers approaching as they can be going quite fast and the hill is quite steep.
All in all, I didn’t take a tumble like I thought I would, and I got some beautiful photographs. I also took some videos on my phone that I’ll be posting to my Instagram Reels.
