I was already entranced by this landscape when the moon made its appearance. Paired with this mute swan, it felt downright magical. It’s almost like he was posing for me!

I wonder if this Canada goose thought they were some kind of royalty with the way they were looking out over the lake.

This was such a brilliant sunset that I continue to think about months later. I knew I should have trusted my gut when I saw the clouds earlier on along with the fact that there were thunderstorms that afternoon. I regret missing out on capturing that rainbow in its entirety. Had I trusted myself, I would have had time to go to my spot by the lake to photograph the rainbow. Instead, I had to settle for a shadow of what could have been as it started to fade.

This empty road surrounded by fluffy clouds almost felt like a liminal space. There’s something about those typical white summer clouds that always draws me in and fills me with a sense of peace.

Mute swans and swans in general tend to be pretty territorial. Knowing this, I still thought it was quite amusing to see this adult male going up against a group of Canada geese. He was okay as long as they stayed out of the water. Seeing as they’re following his desires, it’s easy to see who really runs the show.

The Humber River at the end of August. If you want magnificent views of the city’s skyline, this is one of the places to go. Sitting on the beach was so lovely with the calm waters and the CN Tower in the distance. I’m looking forward to what it will look like here during autumn when all the leaves turn red.

The sunset on this night was definitely a conversation starter but what follows a beautiful sunset sometimes is a beautiful twilight. The purple sky combined with the mist rising from the horizon was such a sight to see. I couldn’t help but feel it was the perfect end to the day.

Photographing an intense sunset at Rouge River has always been on my photography bucket list. I’m so glad I was lucky enough to be able to photograph one. After a hazy day, I had an inkling that we would be getting an intense sunset. That seemed to be the norm on other hazy days so I was super excited for what was hopefully to come. I sat down on the beach with my camera and my phone, ready to take some photos and videos.
When the sky started to turn orange, I knew we were in for a treat. When the sun started to descend, I couldn’t believe my eyes in how defined it was in the sky. When it sank past the bridge, I was in awe at the obvious gradient of colour that covered it. I felt like I was looking at a spread from a photography magazine. I had to make sure I wasn’t staring at the sun for prolonged periods of time for obvious reasons.
I only wish I were able to take a photo of just the sun in the sky or the sun over the landscape. But I didn’t want to move from my spot on the beach and risk not making it to another area quick enough. I would rather have some photos than no photos at all. I wanted to return to take alternate photos but was unable to. At this point in the year, it’s too late for conditions that prompt a hazy sky. And just like that, there’s a new addition to my photography bucket list!
