A shot of Toronto’s skyline from Chester Hill. Some trees are still full but time is definitely running out if you want to take your foliage shots. One good rain or windstorm and that’s it!

Our second visit to Brickworks this year, and on Halloween to boot! As you may remember, the 31st was also the last day before daylight savings ended. I really wanted to venture out and take advantage of that hour of sunlight we’d be losing. Under normal circumstances, we would be giving out chocolate to the kids, but this year we decided that it would be for the best if we skipped out.
Instead we decided to head out for some fresh air and beautiful nature. On a normal weekend, there would definitely be a lot more people out and about so bring a mask just in case. But on Halloween, I had a feeling that many people would be at home and that Brickworks would be more or less deserted. Last weekend, there were larger crowds out but as I had hoped, not so much on Halloween. We were able to head off on a longer trail and I was able to get some photos I was really happy with. This time, the whole family was out with no time constrictions so we were able to stay for a lot longer compared to the week before.
I really enjoy coming here and it’s so peaceful to be just surrounded by nature. The trees are definitely emptier now so this might have been our last autumn visit, sadly.

Some shots of autumn foliage in a cemetery lit up by the afternoon sun.

The last intense sunset of summer. It was such a joy watching the sky go from a light wash of orange to just something totally brilliant. And even then, the clouds changed from a vivid orange to a stunning red/purple/pink.
It won’t be the last sunset of the year but I honestly can’t believe summer is already over. With the world’s current state of affairs, the year is moving by so quick. Pretty soon, 2021 will be upon us.

One of the best feelings as a self proclaimed nature photographer is when you look at the sky just before sunset and you just know that it’s going to light up in brilliant reds and oranges. And the cherry on top? When it actually does!

Out of all the sunset shots, I only kept this one to be edited. I almost didn’t but I thought that cloud was too cute. It reminds me of two things: a helicopter and Flounder from The Little Mermaid.

I got a call from a friend telling me to go outside if I could. She saw that the sky was turning into a brilliant sunset and had to let me know in case I was missing it. Funny thing is, I was! I appreciate the people that let me know when something is happening sky-wise! I wasn’t able to head off to my usual haunts but I’m happy I still got something.

The day before, we had a lot of rainfall to the point where it flooded the beach. It resulted in such a surreal look where you would have sand and water alternating until you finally got to the lake. This resulted in interesting sunset shots due to the reflections in the water.
