Can't Wait!

The snow is mostly gone, here on the prairies, but it will be some weeks before we see greenery and flowers blooming. I can’t wait! It has been a long winter and I sure could use a bit of color. Late spring or early summer images are great for it because all is fresh and green is bright and not dimmed by dust of late summer days.

Fall Aurora

We are lucky here in Alberta, because some nights are full of light show. We had a couple of gorgeous Aurora showing last fall and I have managed to capture some shots without leaving the city.

Not Ready for Winter Images Yet...

I know, I know it is winter and everybody posts winter photography, but I am not ready for it yet. I see it outside my window every day, so I want to see something warm, colorful and pretty. Hope you are in need of this as well.

How Summer Began

It has been a while since I’ve posted anything about Elk Island National Park. So, I think, it is time for some lovely sunset from the beginning of summer, when all was green, flowers were blooming and days were warm and long.

In The Woods

It’s wintery outside. With colder weather and short days I find myself thinking of summer. Summer visits to forest, here in Alberta, are one of my favorites ways to spend a weekend.

Exploring the Sea Floor - Scotland with Fuji

Exploring the Sea Floor - Scotland with Fuji

At the northwestern tip of Trotternish Peninsula on the Isle of Skye, we have found another picturesque location for our photo adventures, right by the ruins of Duntulm Castle.  Since the tide was low and a portion of the sea floor was revealed I have had a rare opportunity to explore the multitude of sea plants with their wonderful colors and shapes as well as take in the views.

Scotland with Fuji - Following Highlander

With any new country we visit we try to find some point of reference while planning a trip. Such was the case during our first visit to Scotland, four years ago, when we decided to visit Glenfinan, a place of birth of a fictional character Connor MacLeod, from the movie "Highlander" (the original, not the re-makes.. ;D). This time around, I have managed to visit the famous Eilean Donan Castle,

Scotland with Fuji - Beautiful Glen Coe

Scotland with Fuji - Beautiful Glen Coe

I have fallen in love with Glen Coe, the first time we have had a pleasure to pass by it in 2012. In late April the colors that blanket the mountains are amazing. All those browns, yellows and rusts with a bit of green look like amazing velvet blanket woven over the ground.

Fuji and Aurora Borealis or Marriage Advice

It is a dangerous territory I wade in.  As my wonderful wife, Kasia, blogs here, and reads my posts.  She's also a photographer.  This arrangement has a lot of pluses, like being able to bounce ideas off each other, or being able to just go shoot northern lights, at the spur of the moment at 2 am in the morning.

Being an opportunistic photographer, I don't have the luxury of time, and spending a few days at a location, waiting for mother nature to smile.  I take what I'm given :)  Some say, that I'm wasting my time and pixels, but I disagree.  Sometimes this works, and sometimes this doesn't.
