PHOTOS: Inside Allan Gardens

Walking around the botanical garden in Allan Gardens is one of the few secret treasures in downtown Toronto. Most people pass by it without second thought, but thankfully, I had it brought to my attention by a good friend who lives right across the street from it. It's almost like stepping into a different, nature-filled world. It feels like the Garden of Eden at times, not only because of the sheer diversity of the plantlife in there, but also because it's just peaceful. Definitely a good place to go to calm down after a stressful week.

In one of my classes today the instructor had us bring our cameras to the lab and go out and take "newsworthy" pictures, like ones you would see that preface an article in the paper. Naturally I was ecstatic about the endavour, as I've been delving into photography for several years now and think I've gotten steadily better. It's a very fun hobby of mine, and one that I am constantly trying to get better at.

Here are some of my pictures I took today.

This little kid (complete with Buzz Lightyear action figure and gramma) was a pretty cool dude.
