My Apple – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
This image is kind of funny and cute. This little squirrel had been chomping down on an apple that had grown on the front tree of our house. I have to give credit to my father for he had a green thumb and planted all the apple trees in the front and back yards.
He definitely noticed me as evidenced by his upright ears and bulging eyes. I think he was thinking, “Is she going to steal my deliciously, fine apple?”
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.

Snow Geese – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
Actually, this photographic shot is pretty rare. Although I live in Manitoba, it is difficult to find Snow Geese in our neck of the woods. If you look at a migratory map, you will see that they go quite far up north. I caught this image as they were migrating south in the fall time.
According to Wikipedia, “Snow geese breed north of the timberline in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and the northeastern tip of Siberia…”
I hope you like this image.

Beautiful Red Fox – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
It is so rare to see foxes, let alone one as beautiful as this one. He/she was just moseying down the road near the forests. He/she was not scared of us at all. I think he/she is absolutely stunning.
Did you know they have excellent hearing and can hear rodents digging miles underground? Did you know their front paws have five toes while their back paws have four toes? Did you know their tail is over half its body length? Did you know they would make excellent triathletes? According to Jackson Wild, “Red foxes can run up to 31 mph, jump over 6 ft high fences, and they can even swim.”
I hope you enjoy the photo. I so love to take pictures of animals and particularly mammals.

Four to Score – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
These are gophers at Assiniboine Park enjoying their wide range of trenches in the fields and trees. I caught these gophers uniquely looking at me from various angles and locations “Four to Score” because if all 4 are female and have pups, there will be approximately be a score or twenty of them as the average number of fur babies are 5 per litter.
I hope you like the arrangement and appreciate that I took this photograph with my phone. sIt was difficult to capture all 4 of them in one photograph as they were always scurrying around.

My, My, My – What do we have here? This is a deer who is checking me out as I check them out.
He/she is peaking his/her head out of the foliage while I try to move in for a close-up. God’s fauna are incredible. They are so elegant and classic. I think animals and wildlife need to be treated better by humanity.
I can only think of all the animals who were killed during the fires in BC this summer and then the flooding that followed soon afterwards. My heart goes out to all of God’s creatures.

This is a Mixed Media creation of imagery including a Tiger, Whirlpool Galaxy and Cyclones on Earth. Together they form an incredible imagery of the magnificence of the world including the majestic tiger.
Personally, I love the combination of imagery as it is magnificent, balanced and takes you to another world of perception.
Tiger photograph was taken by me at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, USA.
Whirlpool Galaxy from NASA image – “The image from NASA Hubble Telescope shows spiral arms and dust clouds in the nearby Whirlpool galaxy. Visible starlight and light from the emission of glowing hydrogen is seen, which is associated with the most luminous young stars in the spiral arms.”
Planet Earth was also taken by NASA.
Hope you like the creation.

This is what my husband and I, affectionately, call these birds: “Cravens.” It is actually a combination between the words, Crows and Ravens. They are so similar in appearance that we combine the names into one name, “Cravens” There is a difference between the two though.
According to the Audubon Website, “These two species, Common Ravens and American Crows, overlap widely throughout North America, and they look quite similar. But with a bit of practice, you can tell them apart.”
Further they write, “You probably know that ravens are larger, the size of a Red-tailed Hawk. Ravens often travel in pairs, while crows are seen in larger groups.”
As well, “Listen closely to the birds’ calls. Crows give a cawing sound. But ravens produce a lower croaking sound…While crows caw and purr, ravens croak and scream bloody murder.”
In flight, “Ravens ride the thermals and soar, whereas crows do more flapping.”
I took this photograph in the Interlake area where the Cravens were hanging out near some Bald Eagles. I was able to get a pretty good close-up of the Craven. In some cultures, crows and ravens are seen as magical messengers from the Divine.

I was thinking of how much I like to travel to new places around the world. It doesn’t look like we will be able to do so this year due to the corona virus pandemic.
This is a photograph I took of a cute Bottlenose dolphin in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It is adorable. She looks like she is smiling and enjoying life.
According to Wikipedia, “Bottlenose dolphins, the genus Tursiops, are the most common members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphin. Molecular studies show the genus contains three species: the common bottlenose dolphin, the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, and the Burrunan dolphin.”

Bambi II
I find all deer adorable and yet stunningly beautiful. This one is called Bambi II because I highlighted another one earlier on. This one is more like the Disney version with the light brown fur and little horns starting off.
I like his huge black eyes and his black little nose. I like how big his ears are and how he is attentively listening to his environment.
According to Canadian Geographic, “The deer is a great jumper and runner. It can reach speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 miles per hour). Like a cow, the white-tailed deer’s stomach has four compartments. This allows food to be processed more efficiently and means that the deer can feed on things that other mammals cannot process.”
This was taken in the Jasper and Banff area of Alberta.

What Do You Think?
My photograph is entitled “What Do You Think?” We all have opinions and we are all entitled to diverse options. This bison looks like he is inviting you to talk and have a discussion. He has said his piece and now it is your turn.
Let’s be civil and kind. Let’s be able to have a discussion by being compassionate and understanding.
Overall, I love how this bison looks and I am proud of this picture.
