About

I love those surprising moments in everyday life that twinkle and call us to wonder ‘what if…’

I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Our winters can be very harsh and seem to last forever. Nature offers many opportunities for photographic splendor.

Since starting this blog in April 2015, I’ve surprised myself.  I never thought that I’d revisit my love for poetic expression.

My photography is still evolving and is a necessary companion to my emerging words.

      Actually, I’m Ukrainian. I’m first generation Canadian and my parents’ were educated under the Russian rule so they spoke both languages which are very similar. Thank-you for the comment, Marta. 🙂

    Nice to meet you. I am very happy with my Canon Power Shot too. Although I am still figuring out all the technical possibilities, it does not stop to amaze me with great pictures. Enjoy your photography!

    Hi there!

    I think I figured out your spam issue on our blog. Unfortunately, in the course of figuring it out, I inadvertently deleted your previous “spam” comments. 😦

    However, if you find reason to comment again on my blog, either reply here or use the contact form on my blog, and I should be able to get you unspammed right away. 🙂

Thank-you for following me. I don’t post daily, but only when it strikes me as valuable. Welcome to my blogging world! ❤

    I too have come to love Haiku and Tanka, it is fun to match the idea and the syllables.

    I really like the first picture of the sky. I don’t know how you got that effect, it looks like you took the picture through a drop of water on a window pane. I love when people see things that most others don’t notice. Thank you for seeing.

      Thank-you, Tim. That image was an unexpected trick discovered while playing with GIMP. Clouds swirled into a circular form. Seeing possibilities is what I’m all about. Have a wonderful day! 🙂
