"The fall colours in Hunter Valley shimmer in the light, willows contrasting with white spruce. This valley, located northwest of Water Valley, Alberta, is a haven for elk, deer and a sow grizzly with her two cubs. Wild (feral) horses also roam here.

"The full moon lingered in the morning sky one late winter day in Sundre, Alberta, shining brightly as the sun touched the clouds with vivid purples and pinks. Difficult to capture, but I tried."

Yellow Clouds Over Trees

"Having been born and partially raised in Saskatchewan, a land of prairie and big open skies, the sky provides endless variety and inspiration for me. This sunset was so spectacular that I climbed on top of the garage for the best view, leading to such an intense curiosity from my neighbours that they came over later to ask what I was doing, and that ended up being our introduction when I lived in the Mount Pleasant community of Calgary, Alberta."

Fall Leaves Study

"The first week the leaves fall off the trembling aspen trees at our log cabin north of Water Valley, Alberta they lay like brilliant jewels on the forest floor, an unbelievable rich yellow colour."

Reflections

“Walking in the forest behind our log cabin, the sun glittered in the snow, causing the sparkles in the snow to glitter with rainbow colours. What can one say to that beauty? And what medium, if any, can capture it?”
