An orange hazy summer sunset. The haze in the air is very obvious looking at the last photograph. After the sunset started to fade, I looked over to my right and was captivated by the foggy landscape.
First official day of summer, here we are! After what felt like forever, it has arrived! I’m not quite sure what kind of flowers these are, but they are so pretty! The tree pictured in the first two photos was a lot bigger than it looks. I felt so calm and at peace standing underneath it. It almost felt like a whole different world where sound was muted and the sunlight peeking through the leaves was warm and bright.
And like most floral related things this year, when we came back a week later, most of the flowers had sadly already dried up.
Close up photos of pine needles during spring. I debated on what colour scheme I should go for for this set and ultimately decided on a cool aqua tone instead of a warm green one (what they actually looked like). I wanted to experiment with colour a bit and I really like the way these turned out!
The Toronto skyline during late spring and the skyline during twilight. The sunset wasn’t as intense as I was hoping but I’m really happy with the skyline shot. I looked over and saw all the pretty white flowers and I knew I had to snap a photo. It was such a spring scene and it made me so happy seeing it in person. We came back around a week later and the hill was completely grassy, no white flowers. Just goes to show how anything in spring disappears so quick if you aren’t fast enough.
Some gorgeous pink flowers blooming in the trees. I’m not sure what kinds of flowers these are but they’re gorgeous! I always love when I find things to take photos of when I have my camera with me, it’s like it’s photographer’s luck. I passed by this tree a week to two weeks later and sadly, all the blooms were gone. I love spring for all the beauty it gives us but it really doesn’t last.
I am not quite sure what flowers these are but if I see pretty flowers, I take a photo. The cloudy sky provides a nice contrast against the dark purple blossoms.
An intense and vibrant sunset from the beginning of May. The clouds turned yellow and then orange and I was able to capture some stunning shots of the Toronto skyline and the surrounding areas.
More cherry blossoms at Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto! The sky was very cloudy but the park was quiet. The cherry blossoms were fenced off so I had to improvise and take photos through the fencing. Here’s hoping next year we’ll be able to experience the blossoms here a little closer.
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!
