Winter is on the way to Victoria, but it’s not quite here yet. I managed to snag some great photos this fall, which can be very difficult to do in the dreary gray conditions of the season. The six photos I’m about to link all have colour that pops, despite the conditions (or, in several cases, because of them).
A brilliant orange sunset one day, and a rain-slick leaf laying on the street soon after. October had a lot of weather surprises, but altogether it was very enjoyable.
Trees were dropping seed pods and leaves all over the place.
Despite the randomness of the weather, however, I found that I was able to take striking photos in both gloomy and radiant conditions.
Ironically, in the bright and seemingly cheerful highway photo above, I was on my way to a funeral. My aunt Bridget passed away this October, after a long battle with cancer. My mom flew all the way out from Nova Scotia for the funeral service. I’m glad that the weather was so nice for the day, and that my mom was able to make the trip out to attend. She had visited almost exactly a month prior, for my wedding; thankfully, she was able to visit Bridget for a bit during that trip.
