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.

Longing for color - Alberta Landscape Photography

Some say that Elk Island National Park is one of the most boring parks in Canada and, to some extend, they have a point. We don't have dramatic mountains or oceans, we don't have desert, cool rock formations, hot springs or geysers. What we do have, however, is peace, quiet beauty, a bit of wildlife and a lake that can reflect sunset colors and often does an awesome job of it.

A year ago... Photography Reflections.

I have been slacking.  Mostly because .... I guess I'm lazy.  I do have a backlog of images that are asking politely to be posted somewhere... maybe someone will like them?  What if no one really cares?  Will that have an impact?  Should it have an impact?  Should our creativity be influenced by someone liking or disliking or simply not caring about the images we create

Devonian Botanical Gardens In Summer Splendor

The last weekend of summer is already upon us.. It's rather disgusting how fast this summer went!! I am so happy I was able to take my camera here and there and record some of the beautiful flowers before they are all gone and winter sets in.

Alberta Canola Sunset

Alberta Canola Sunset

This year wasn't very good for sunsets.  Huge forest fires in the NWT were at fault, bringing smoke and haze.  So far there were only a couple good days, and most of the time the beautiful fluffy clouds would burn away by sunset, leaving empty blue skies.  This is was one of those days.  The canola fields in Alberta, creating wonderful contrasts with the big blue skies, it's always a great sight.....

Traveling the unknown Alberta - Alberta Landscape Photography

Back from my gallivanting in Europe, it was a good time to go out and hit the Alberta back roads, not too far from Edmonton.   A nice quiet drive, until we stepped outside of the vehicle to try to take a photo.  The moment the door opened, my wife and me, were swarmed by mosquitoes... hoards of them.
