Spring Snowflakes Embraced by Gold ⁠
⁠
These spring snowflakes, kissed by the sun and glistening with refreshing droplets, stand out beautifully against a golden backdrop. The soft light embraces the tiny blooms, adding a warm glow to their delicate petals, while the freshness of the gentle droplets and the golden hues make the scene feel peaceful and full of life. ⁠
⁠
I've isolated the flowers on this dreamy, soft background using focus bracketing built into my camera and combining the photos through post-processing. Have you tried focus-stacking your macro photos? ⁠

Springtime Magic of Golden Hour ⁠
⁠
We're turning our clocks an hour forward this night, which means the evenings will be brighter now and the Sun will set later. I'm so happy about this change; it feels much more like Summer already! Another bonus is later golden hours without needing to hurry going out right as work ends ⁠
⁠
These golden hour snowdrop photographs were taken exactly in this scenario - as work ended, I hurried out to catch the last of the golden hour. With no time to spare, I managed to get the gorgeous golden orb bokeh in the background of these spring photographs ⁠
⁠
Which of these two photos is your favorite? I couldn't decide!

Golden Crocus Glow ⁠
⁠
This is one of my favorite captures from the crocus garden visit. A lone crocus standing out among a sea of golden blooms with its delicate petals reaching for the sky. The soft light and the vibrant yellow tones create a dreamy atmosphere, making this early spring flower feel like a little burst of sunshine. ⁠
⁠
The crocus always brings such joy to my flower photography sessions—do you have a favorite flower that symbolizes the arrival of spring for you?

A Touch of Freshness in Every Petal ⁠
⁠
This vibrant winter aconite, glistening with morning dew - surrounded by a sea of yellow, captures the essence of new life emerging, full of promise⁠
⁠
The delicate droplets on each flower add a refreshing touch, and I love how these simple details enhance the beauty of the blooms. The warmth ahead feels just within reach

A Droplet of Hope ⁠
⁠
The white snowdrop, kissed by morning dew, is a beautiful symbol of new beginnings. Its delicate petals gently bow, while the soft glow of light gives the whole scene a magical feel ⁠
⁠
Such a peaceful moment perfectly captures nature’s quiet beauty’s first steps toward spring

#snowdrops in #Toronto

Last week, I captured the stunning beauty of crocus flowers, their soft petals glistering in the Sun. I got closer and photographed the small details of pollen in the heart of this crocus - they look like little orange pearls ⁠
