Can’t Wait!

by Kasia Sokulska | Apr 5, 2022 | Nature

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. We are lucky here in Edmonton having such an easy access to Elk Island National Park. Some say it is one of the most boring Canadian parks, but I don’t care. It is a perfect escape from the city, especially when one is not blessed with copious amounts of time.

So let me share some colorful images from a few early summer visits at Elk Island Park, with some gorgeous greenery and lovely sunset shots. They should be enough to allow us to survive those days when we crave some sumptuous colors and cannot rely on reality to deliver ;). Enjoy!

Fall Aurora

by Kasia Sokulska | Feb 19, 2022 | Fuji X

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.

It is such a pleasure to be able to watch the dancing lights without having to drive long way to escape the city lights. Here are some shots from those two nights when I was able to play a bit with the camera and witness the spectacle. Enjoy!

Not Ready for Winter Images Yet…

by Kasia Sokulska | Jan 24, 2022 | Nature

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.

Summer sunsets are so pretty. Warm and inviting and always such a pleasure to behold. But before they happen there is always a bit of time to explore. It is so nice to see all this juicy greenery and blooming flowers, when outside it is white and cold and not very appealing. When windchill factors reach -30 degrees Celsius, it warms my heart to see a beautiful hot sun, still in the sky. I have a feeling you don’t mind these either so, go ahead, take a look, enjoy!

How Summer Began

by Kasia Sokulska | Jan 16, 2022 | Nature

Winter is ruling the world now and it has been difficult to go anywhere to shoot. It is a good thing then, that I have quite a few pictures in my volt.

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. It is always so lovely to see new, fresh greenery, not covered by dust nor tired from the heat and dry conditions. No smoke nor haze from fires, all crisp and clean and delightful … And, though, most will be posting either fall or minimalist dreary winter I will hold on to the summer’s colorful world for a moment longer.. Enjoy!

In The Woods

by Kasia Sokulska | Nov 30, 2021 | Nature

It’s wintery outside. With colder weather and short days I find myself thinking of summer. There is always so much to see and take pictures of during long days and warm evenings. I tend to take too many photographs then, but it’s OK because now, I have something to look at.

Summer visits to a forest, here in Alberta, are one of my favorites ways to spend a weekend. I took my cameras with me, during one such visit and here is what I came back with… It’s nice to look at those pictures now, when they became memories. Enjoy!
