Contrast Quadrants – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
I call this piece “Contrast Quadrants.” This imagery reminds me of life. There are many different ways of looking at things. One of the best ways is by using a quadrant or a matrix. I think life looks different depending upon what your current perspective or point of view is at.
In one case, you are in a positive area and other times, you are negative. One side is left and the other side is right. One is blue and white while the other side is golden and black. One is up and the other is down or one is top and the other is bottom. One is dark and one is light.
I have transitioned the pieces between the contrasting imagery. I hope you like it and provokes you into some thoughts about perspective about the meaning and use of contrasts in our lives..
As for me, I love beauty in all its forms. With my art, I am often in a zen-type of mood and feel as if I am “in the flow.” With my photography, I feel as if I am inspired by God or the Universe to capture these moments in time. I feel as if I am zinged when I capture that special shot and it is meant to be.

Feather and Seaweed – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
I love seeing and taking photographs of things people normally would not notice and would just walk right on over or right on by. I was amused by this white feather that popped itself on the sandy shoreline along the lake. The bird who lost its feather had no idea that it was creating art amongst the green seaweed swirling by the water’s edge.

This huge rock and pile of trees are in front of the water’s edge. I have focusssed it to showcase the varying textures from the ripples in the water, to the growth of the brush to the angle of the tree branches. Fluffy light clouds highlight the top of the photograph.

You Light Me Up – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click image to see entire photograph.
We were just wondering around London, England and I saw this beautiful combination of arched windows with a balcony of pink and white flowers just in front of a light post. I believe we were around the corner from Westminster Abbey of the Church of England which is home to coronations and weddings of the Royal family.
We love to walk around and see what beauty we can encounter in all the most unexpected places here in Canada and around the world when we are able to travel. I enjoy the company of my husband and my son as we are able to have travelled in the past and they definitely are true to the saying “You Light Me Up.”

Waterfall and Flowers – Photography by Mary Mikawoz
I took this photograph in British Columbia. I love this picture because in the background, you will find beautiful and sparkling white elements of a water fall and at the forefront, you will find some beautiful white and yellow centred flowers. They seem to be daisies having chosen a most picturesque spot in nature to grow and develop in. May we all find suitable locales and environments with which to find, grow and prosper wherever we call home in the whole wide world of Earth which revolves around as a segment of the Universe.

These are beautiful white flowers or Fleurs Blanches found in the old Conservatory Building at Assiniboine Park. The building is no longer there and has been demolished. I hope the plants found a good new home.
This photograph has Asiatic Lilies and Arum Lilies being showcased. They are exquisite in their elegance and perfection. They are romantic.
They were situated in a spot that many people would walk by and not even notice them but they definitely caught my eye. The Asiatic Lilies look as if there are multiple trumpets sounding off in all the directions.

This parrot is standing stoically on a branch amidst the greenery. He is “white as snow.” He seems to be happy and content. I like the way he is so elegant and has such beautiful plumage.
The photograph was taken at Bloedel Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. According to the Vancouver Parks and Recreation website, “More than 120 free-flying exotic birds, 500 exotic plants and flowers thrive within its temperature-controlled environment.”

Biały I Czerwony – Photography by Mary MIkawoz Click on image or link to see entire image.
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.”

I took this photograph while lying down on the ground in autumn by Lake Winnipeg in Little Deer. It was a glorious day of watching the leaves softly fall to the ground. I looked up at the breadth and wealth of the canopy of trees.
