Solo Silo – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
I love our drives around Manitoba. You see many granaries or silos around the prairie land. You also see many farmer’s fields that are in various stages of development whether preparing, seeding, watering, sunning, growing, enriching, harvesting or still in a fallow state. I feel that this is the same way with people too, reflecting our goals in life and how we proceed. The silent silo is alone and is standing for storage of crops.
I love the bright colours in this picture of blues, yellows and greens. It was taken in the Interlake Area of Manitoba.
With my art, I am often in a zen-type of mood. With my photography, I feel as if I am inspired by God or the Universe to capture these moments in time.

Veil of Tears – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
This is a photograph that I took of the winter sun low in the sky through the window. It has an hazy effect and had a melancholy feel about it. However, what I love about it is that it serves as a framework for the poem I wrote. I wrote it for those who are hurting and missing a loved one at this time of year, this one is for YOU!
Veil of Tears
by Mary Mikawoz
As days change into nights And nights into days We see the passage of time Moments slipping by unnoticed
We trudge on in snow-laden streets With cold in our feet, face and hands But not in our hearts…
We remember those who have passed on From one realm to another We rejoice in their memories And of the substantial love they gave us
We can choose to stand in a veil of tears Wiping the currents of moisture from our eyes Or simply initiate a wealth of gratitude For their Past Presence in our lives!
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.

Silent Moon Over Water – Photography by Mary Mikawoz
I took this beautiful evening photograph just as the sun was setting and the moon was rising over the water. The Hunter’s Moon is magnificent leaving a trail of its light on the waves of the water. Twinkling in the water are coloured rivulets of pink reflections just past the branches.
It brings me much joy to see the moon rising beyond the horizon each time I see it.

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 took this photograph this afternoon near Gimli, Manitoba over the substation. The sun is fairly low in the sky as it is winter time. The Sundogs on either side of the sun indicate that it is cold outside or that it will be. Both are true in this case. With temperatures in the minus 20 degrees Celsius range, or minus 4 Fahrenheit, you know it is cold.
Here is the current forecast from Environment Canada, “A bitterly cold north wind will bring extreme wind chills of minus 40 to much of southern Manitoba overnight and into Thursday morning.”
I like the brilliant star effect around the sun and the way the Sundogs are like little rainbow arcs around at the sun’s sides.

I took this photograph one cool fall night many moons ago in Assiniboine Park. The sun was setting in the west and the sky turned a multitude of magnificent colours including pink, blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow. It is a veritable rainbow of colours. The trees are dark silhouetted and seem to be dramatic or mysterious in their own way.
I love the branches of the trees as they extend towards the sky yearning for more attention from the sun and their impending growth. They cry out to the sun, “Please give us more. We need you.”
Throughout the seasons, they get what they need and now as we approach winter time, we go dormant and fall asleep for awhile in plant-life hibernation.

Don’t Look Directly at the Sun! So, I didn’t. I hid behind a tree and basked in the glow of the sunshine emanating and peaking out at its sides.
I love the way that the sun manages to find its way to almost everywhere in life on the Earth. It is constantly shining for our benefit and our delight. It is a source of so much good.
According to the Reference website, “The sun has been a symbol of power, growth, health, passion and the cycle of life in many cultures and religions throughout time. Some believe it is a representation of the higher self, while others see the sun as a god to be worshiped.”

Checking You Out
Somehow, I get the feeling that these iguanas are checking me out. I don’t know what gives me that idea other than I have three heads and three eyes staring back at me. They seem to be on alert status.
This is a photograph that I took in Hawaii. I like the way these reptiles are camouflaged very well with their background.
According to Vetstreet, “Although they don’t actually use verbal language to communicate, iguanas talk to each other through head bobbing and through movement of the flap of skin under their necks — called a dewlap. Iguanas will extend their dewlaps to say hello to each other or as a sign of being territorial.”

Fall Equinox – Photograph by Mary Mikawoz Click image or link to see entire panoramic view of photograph
Fall Equinox
This is a panoramic photograph I took this morning at the shoreline of Lake Winnipeg at Little Deer at 8:30 am when it was the right time for the change of seasons Central Standards Time (CST) for this area. This is approximately 2 hours north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
I love the beautiful golden hue and tone of the sun with its juxtaposition against the blue of the water and sky.
I like how your eye leads you into the water of the photo with the trees framing the image nicely. It also invites you in and makes you want to go swimming but it is getting too cold for that already.

I was walking along the sandy beaches near the ocean at Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia when I saw something interesting. It was this embedded tree in the sand. It had been decaying because of the elements of sun, wind, water and sand. It has become integrally part of the Earth once more. I like the interesting divots and features in the wood.
