Twillingate, Newfoundland: Iceberg Boat Tour

A picture is definitely worth 1000+ words, and there are not enough words to describe how breathtakingly beautiful these massive icebergs are, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, near Twillingate Newfoundland.  So I'll let the photos speak for themselves. I am so thankful to have had this opportunity to explore such wonder!

After the boat tour, we headed up to Long Point Lighthouse for a different view of the icebergs and ocean:

High Park Cherry Blossoms

One of my favourite times to be in the west end of Toronto is late spring.  That's because every year in May, the High Park cherry blossom trees spring to life.  The Sakura trees were given to Toronto on behalf of the Japanese, for Toronto's support during World War Two.  The short-lived flowering season brings many people to the park, myself included!  I was able to visit twice this year, when the buds were just popping up, and then later when the trees were in full bloom.  Here are some of my favourite shots:

And here are some of my previous years' photographs of the cherry blossoms in High Park: 2012, 2010.

Don Valley Brickworks

My friend Katy and I have been going on a few photowalks a month since April... I end up being super inspired and taking hundreds of photos, and then the thought of processing them all for publishing ends up slowing me down.  Last week, I managed to edit a few of the photos from our trip to the Evergreen Don Valley Brickworks - though I have at least one more set to share!

For those who have never been, the Brickworks features an extensive outdoor section with areas that are great for nature photos, and then the old factory which features amazing graffiti and super cool steampunk-esque elements.

Here's some shots from the outdoor section!

    

 

Deer in Niagara

I was recently on a drive through the Niagara region of Ontario.  While driving along, towards the Falls, I noticed these beautiful deer just walking along a side street.  We pulled the car over and stopped so that I could shoot them. With my camera, of course!

Aren't they just stunning?

A Nature Photo Walk in Florida

I visited a gorgeous park called Whispering Pines in Inverness, Florida.  It was a day that started out totally foggy, which lent itself to some very mysteriously moody photos, and then the sun came out and the shadow play with the sun and the trees and the leaves was just gorgeous.  I'll let the photos speak for themselves!

High Park Cherry Blossoms: 2012

One of my favourite signs of spring in Toronto is when the High Park cherry blossoms come out to play.  The first time I went to see them was in 2010 - but now that I've moved into the High Park area of the city, I've made it tradition to go every year.  This year, the weather was kind of iffy.  The weekend called for rain, and most of the week was a bit chilly.  I ended up going on a warm, but windy mid-week night, and I was surprised at the amount of people that were at the park that night.  Without further ado... here's some beauty to bask in:

Portraits: K&S - maternity session

This is probably the quickest I've ever turned around a photo session!  Mom-to-be, K, contacted me on a Tuesday, we shot the photos on Friday, and by Wednesday they had their photos in hand!  *Phew!*

I think it's mostly because K & her husband, S, were a breeze to work with.  Just look at these two - so happy and positively glowing with the impending arrival of their bundle of joy.  They asked for some simple shots, using nature as the backdrop, with no props or gimmicks.  I was happy to deliver:

While we were out shooting, we stumbled upon a lovely, big tree, that seemed to have a little surprise of it's own... ;)

K & S - I wish you all the best in the upcoming weeks!
