Cherry Blossoms on Mother’s Day, 2021.

Digital, 2021.

These photos are the reason why I always bring my camera with me whenever I go to the cemetery. Surrounded by nature, you never know what you’re going to see. For example, on this day, I was not expecting to step out of the car and see pink where I wasn’t anticipating it. I had no clue that this tree was a cherry blossom tree so you can imagine my shock and excitement upon seeing it. The cherry blossoms in other places in Toronto (including the ones I photographed at this location) I had visited previously already withered a while back. Cherry blossoms only last around a week so be sure to act quickly if you want to enjoy them and take photos.

These are truly my last cherry blossom photos of 2021 and I miss them already. I can’t wait to be blessed by the pink flowers again next year!

Beaches and a Skyline on May 8th, 2021.

A moody spring day in Toronto, Canada. We headed down to the beach for a little bit for some fresh air. Soon after, we headed to Polson Pier so I could take some skyline shots with the storm clouds in the background. As we were driving there, the clouds looked particularly angry with lots of movement. By the time I got there and was ready to shoot, they had mellowed down a bit, which was a little disappointing. Since summer is just starting, I’m hoping to catch some angry storm clouds soon!

Cherry Blossoms on April 18th, 2021.

Cherry blossoms are finally blooming! While visiting grandparents at the cemetery, my family noticed that there were several cherry blossom trees littered throughout the area. Strange how I’d never noticed them all these years. Granted, I feel like most Torontonians only see High Park as their cherry blossom central. With things being the way they are this year and last, many of us had to look to other places to get our Sakura fix. I know that personally, I had never looked into other areas in the city with cherry blossoms as I’d always head over to High Park in the past. While it is open to visitors this year (albeit being fenced off), I personally wasn’t about to brave the more than likely huge crowds vying for a chance to take a peek through the fences.

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! It was also nice to just stand underneath the trees, breathe deep, and to relax for a small moment.

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!
