We are never lonely as long as nature is around us. A glimpse of beauty In the park is where I spend most of my days as a dad. How many dogs can fit in a car.  Look closely and count.

Exactly 5 years ago today I bought the tamron 70-180. My phone memory alerted me. Here are some of the first shots I took with it. I sold it the same year because I did not use it as much. I regreted it. This month I got the version 2. I can't wait till its here. #nature #photography #tamron

Before I went to work last night I looked up and was amazed at how big the moon was. I snapped a photo with my phone and today I read that it was the beaver moon. I wish I had used my sony but at least I got a shot 😀 Show me your beaver moon 🌙 #nature #beavermoom #photography #canada #sky

Each falling leaf tells a story, a vibrant farewell before winter's hush. This season always reminds me to soak in every moment, every burst of color, and every cozy feeling. What's your favorite memory of autumn? Let me know below! #AutumnVibes #FallFeels #NaturePhotography #MakingMemories #nature

Some more art I found on my walk to find art, by World Press Photo. What do you think of the photos on World Press Photo? Technically the photography is amazing but it's always so sad. I guess thats what gives impact and views? #photography #streetphotography #worldpressphoto

Catching sunlight on a nice fall day with the kids. The sunlight spilling through the trees, warm and soft, while those bright orange leaves on the ground scream fall, simple moments that hit right! Share your favourite fall moments in the caption #fall #nature #photography #landscapephotography

I love every genre of photography but i have been really interested in street photography lately. This walkie talkie with Paulie B and Mark Portillo has really elevated that interest. Love this episode! youtu.be/by60qvIrzPk?...

What’s the most ‘nothing’ spot in your town that feels like art? I found this area near an abandon train tracks. Looking through the fence, i saw vibrant colors and contrasting greens. Shouting William Eggleston vibes. I've been really liking his work lately.

Before and After. Overall the storm wasn't that bad. I got what I wished for which was a snow day = no work day 🙃 #nature #Toronto #snow
Scene before the storm.  Townhouse lightly covered with snow.  The road is still visible. The same scene covered with snow after the winter storm.

How quickly things change. Not too long ago I was strolling through the park appreciating the #fall colors and beautiful weather. Now, #snow, very cold and approaching a new year. Appreciate the present and never take things for granted because it can change in the blink of an eye. #nature
Fall colors.  Exercising and walking through a beautiful park appreciating the beautiful weather and wonderful colors.  Winter at times feels very cold and lonely.  This is a photograph of an empty bench covered in snow signifying a cold and lonely winter. This is an abstract photo captured from my walk in this very cold and winter day.  A black and white photo of branches engulfed by the surrounding snow.
