Cherry Blossoms on April 18th, 2021.
Digital, 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.

A vivid red sunset during spring. I had fun editing this one to look a bit darker to accentuate the sun’s round shape. I love when hazy sunsets provide us with a beautiful view of the sun!

Giant fluffy clouds during spring followed by a vivid orange sunset. After that, storm clouds rolled in and you could clearly see rainfall in the distance. It took a while for the rain to finally reach us in the city but it was lovely seeing it roll in!

Spring Flowers on March 24th, 2021.

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.

With some sunsets, you blink and you miss the whole thing. With others, they keep going on and on, their colours changing every few moments. Both are beautiful in their own right but with summer approaching, I really can’t wait for those vivid sunsets that make you thankful for being able to exist in that moment. This spring sunset feels almost like a sneak peak!
