What am I pointing to? The weekend of course—we’re halfway there now! . Self portraits are always a challenge for me. What do I do? How do I pose? Did the camera take the picture? So many unknowns. I seem to default to a pointing pose for many of my self portraits. . How do you pose? . Swipe left for the landscape version! .

The sunrise may not have been anything special that morning but the whispy low-laying clouds glowing from the rays of the sun, and hovering around the buildings sure made for some interesting photos. .

On my way back I spotted a mallard duck in the corner of my eye—he was admiring the sunrise views of the city by the lake. I took a picture of this special moment only to find that he wasn’t alone—he had a certain friend with him that I didn’t see hidden in the grass. I didn’t want to be the third wheel so I quickly left without disturbing their moment together. .

On a hazy morning with no lights on in the city, the entire skyline was a silhouette in the mist. A little long exposure smoothens out the lake yielding an ethereal sunrise that was so refreshing to see after a long hiatus. . Swipe left for the full landscape version! .

Good morning Toronto! . Today, the Province of Ontario will announce what businesses and areas will be allowed to open up in stage one of our recovery process. .

During this deep freeze in 2018 there were layers and layers of clouds above Lake Ontario in addition to the steam rising from the surface of the lake. You can also see a funnel cloud here, which was one of several seen near the horizon. . How many layers of clouds do you see? .

Jewels of Toronto. On very cold winter days ice formations along the shores of Lake Ontario create unique sculptures that make them interesting to photograph. With the right light hitting it, some parts of it will shine brightly literally creating a hidden gem of the city. . Will we ever get these conditions again? .

I attempted to go for a sunrise shoot this morning but when I woke up at 6:30am, I failed to get out of bed. The next time I woke up, it was 7:20am and the colours had already begun. Seeing the colours reflected off the building windows in front of me, I knew I had missed something special this morning. . This may not be from this morning but here’s another sunrise that was quite colourful from last week. . Have a wonderful Christmas Eve everyone! . I will be busy baking a Yule log—what will you be doing? .
