The breeze was blowing across the waters near Grand Beach, Manitoba. It is part of the Lake Winnipeg system. I took this photo midway between West Beach and East Beach in the Lagoon.
I can still hear the wind whipping by and remember the plants swaying to the moving air flow. You can see the ripples of the water behind.
With my art, I am often in a zen-type of mood and with my photography, I feel as if I am inspired by God or the Universe to capture these moments in time.

In this photograph, the winter sunlight blazons through the sky and passes through the sunflowers as if touching and kissing them good-bye before the sun sets. I love this black and white photo because it looks like it was painted in an artistic fashion and yet it is a photograph.

I was just thinking this would be a great start to a joke, “A Peony, Fern and an Ant grow up together in a garden…”
I simply like the composition of the ferns highlighting the full blossom peony and the little ant doing its job to open up the shut peony.
According to the DIY Network website, “Ants and peonies go together like peanut butter and jelly. The association is so strong that much folklore has developed around the issue of ants on peonies”
Further it says, “To a certain extent, ants actually take advantage of the peony flowers, harvesting much nectar from the plants. But the peonies also benefit, in that ants often devour any insects that are attacking the plants.”

Beauty of My Eye
When I see peonies, I think of my mother. There is an old coloured photograph of my mother in a pink, silky organza layered type of dress. She looks absolutely stunning and so beautiful. Along with her, were her children, us kids, playing beside her and she is kneeling near the fence where there are beautiful, pink peonies framing her body.
I love this image that I took in my own garden because it highlights the pink peony and is surrounded by bright, yellow flowers and green leaves which to me, is like my mother along with her children. She is the “Beauty of My Eye.”
Now that I think of it, I wonder if my father created that stunning dress for my mother as he was a custom tailor and made beautifully tailored clothes for all of us. Good memories.
This is for you Mom and Dad!

Blocked
I took this photograph of an old, derelict house that has had its window blocked by overgrown trees and plants. I have always been amazed how quickly nature overtakes what man has built once it has been abandoned. It is a testament to the strength, power and resiliency of Mother Earth.

Bialy i Czerwony
This photograph, that I took, is named “ Biały I Czerwony” which translated into Polish, as “White and Red.” It reminds me of the Polish flag which is two horizontal stripes with white on top of the red. It is opposite of the flag of Monaco.
I like the white rose flowers which dominate the imagery but that there is just a hint or speck of red flower popping up.

These are beautiful flowers found in the Japanese Gardens in Kelowna, British Columbia. According to the City of Kelowna website, “The garden was completed in 1987 to demonstrate the friendship and union between Kelowna and its sister city in Kasugai, Japan. The park integrates traditional elements notable in Japanese gardens, such as stone lanterns, pine trees, waterfalls and a pond stocked with Koi. It is a beautiful integration of stone, pathways, plants and water.”

Here is a cactus with its baby offspring. It is all pointy and sharp. This was originally a photograph taken in the deserts of Arizona, USA and then I modified it with digital artwork.

Here is a photograph of clover and wildflowers which I have creatively played with to be photo art and photo painting. I like the colours and the subtle existence of nature.

Here is an image of an old house that is no longer in use and once upon a time saw better times. This is a relic from just north of Pinedock, Manitoba. There is overgrowth up and around this old home.
