Fall in River Valley

by Kasia Sokulska | Feb 28, 2021 | Nature

Winter is still in full swing here on the prairies. I miss fall colors, so I will share today some of the colorful fall images that I took last year. There is nothing better than an early walk with a dog during a beautiful fall morning. We were lucky a few months back to take such a great walk in Rundle Park, here in Edmonton. Our River Valley, can be beautiful during fall. We have enjoyed, last year a few weeks of mild enough weather and fall colors a bit longer than a customary week ;D Here are some of the pictures I have taken that lovely morning. Enjoy!

Foggy Morning

by Kasia Sokulska | Dec 8, 2020 | Nature

Winter is in full swing here on the prairies and, despite mild weather I miss fall. So, I’m going to share some of it with you today. I did promise I would (Frost and Fog), several weeks ago, didn’t I? So here it is..

Morning fog is so gorgeous, when combined with sunshine and lovely fall colors. We have had a chance to take some pictures a few weeks back, when all the gorgeous leaves were still attached to the trees and we took full advantage of it. Gorgeous morning, with a bit of frost decorating the grass and sun highlighting trees, when it finally rose. We must have spend two hours walking with our dog and taking pictures. I can’t think of a better way to start my day! Enjoy!

Macro in Red

It’s not very pretty outside today, here in Edmonton, so a colorful post with pretty flowers should cheer us all up a bit..

Red… Such an amazing color! Not often found in nature, but thanks to gardeners, working diligently over centuries, it is commonly found today. I love photographing red. It is one of my favorites, however it must be handled carefully in post processing. One can easily over saturate it and it would be a sin! ;D

I have been very lucky in being able to find a few red poppies that seeded themselves from last year in my patio garden. They are absolutely gorgeous when in bloom, so I have taken a ton of their pictures. They don’t last very long so one must take advantage of every opportunity.

It seems, with Remembrance Day tomorrow, poppies are very timely. We should acknowledge and remember our veterans. They did fight for our countries and suffer for many years after. One should never take their sacrifices for granted, nor should we allow ourselves to forget what wars are like for all who are unfortunate to be forced to take part in them…

Frost and Fog

by Kasia Sokulska | Oct 17, 2020 | Nature

A few weeks back we have had a pleasure to welcome sunrise in Rundle Park in Edmonton’s River Valley. It was a gorgeous frosty beginning of a foggy morning which, combined with a lovely show of fall colors was simply perfect for some gorgeous photography. I took a lot of pictures of the various subjects during our long walk around the park and and will share some of them in the coming weeks. I am not ready yet for winter photography, so fall it is, falks! Enjoy!

Macro in Green

by Kasia Sokulska | Oct 5, 2020 | Art

I’ve always loved shooting macros, but this year the ability to go out to take pictures of colorful, sparkly things has become my sanity. It’s been a crazy time for all of us. I’m sure others have found different ways of dealing with the stress and annoyances of our current situation but for me, there is nothing better than getting up early in the morning, or going out in the early evening and taking pictures. Our winter was very long this year. Cold temperatures and, frankly, miserable weather has prevented me from enjoying the outdoors for a long time, so when I was finally able to escape the house and find a bit of greenery, I was lost. ;D You’d think green stuff is boring. After all everything turns green at some point, but one can still find creative ways to shoot eye pleasing images. Here is a sample of what I was able to come up with. Enjoy!
