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.

Flowers I found on my walk. I went out looking for hydrangeas and also found these along the way.

I’ve lived in Toronto all my life and yet I’ve never heard of the Toronto Music Gardens. I’ve seen photos taken there but I never questioned where they were taken. We decided to head down one weekend and I was amazed at how gorgeous the whole space was. When exploring the flower gardens, I loved seeing all these pretty flowers close up, especially allium!
I didn’t get more shots of the main space as we went on the weekend and it was pretty busy and I prefer not having any people in my shots. For that, it’s best to visit on a weekday, which we eventually did. Those photos will be up soon!

Another “I’m really glad I had my camera on me” moment. It was raining on and off and I thought the lighting made everything look bright and well lit. You know those harsh shadows when it’s very sunny? This was the complete opposite of that. I thought this garden looked very surreal in this overcast light. Something about these flowers with the occasional water droplet just tugged at something in me.

A summer day spent at Edwards Gardens. A majority of the gardens were under construction so unfortunately, I couldn’t get the photos I was looking forward to taking. Instead, I took photos of flowers that caught my eye. Hopefully the gardens will fully open up again soon!

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!

Nothing beats summer days by the lake. The air is cooler, the atmosphere is calmer, and the views are spectacular. I was amazed at how clear the water looked that day. I could have watched the gentle waves moving over the stones underwater all day. Sadly, I could not but I made sure to take photos!

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.

I really loved the way the sun looked as it set over the lake. I really wanted a starburst effect so I shot this image at f/22 and 1/1600 sec to achieve it. I love sunsets of all kinds but you have to admit that ones by the water are truly special.

I brought my camera with me to the cemetery and found a bunch of lovely flowers to photograph. We usually associate flowers with spring but there are definitely some gorgeous ones that pop up in the summer!
