Apparently, when Tchaikovsky wrote the musical fragment Waltz of the Flowers for the ballet The Nutcracker, he was sitting at the piano in a field of flowers. Since then, everything has remained like this in memory of the great composer.
It is not country of tulips Holland, it is small town Fenwick in Ontario. Some enthusiasts turned a wild field into a blooming garden. For two weeks, this colorful carpet delights many flower lovers. Tulips, tulips, tulips…all about tulips.
It is most beautiful time of the year. Few days ago everything around was grey and boring and in just couple days all the orchards exploded with the white and pink blooming.
Sometimes to forget about daily routine it is nice to visit some place that soothes and restores your mind. Saturday was the day for this kind of activity.

After two sunny days with “Italian” sky totally clear of clouds, we had pretty grey overcast today. However, we were lucky enough to watch eclipse. It wasn’t so clear but it was a lot of fun to see it at all. When you experience the day coming from totally bright to night dark and then to morning light in just few minutes, it leaves you in awe. Let’s watch how it happened step by step.
Unfortunately, before totality the sun has been hidden by the clouds and we could not see the crown.
After couple of weeks with almost Spring weather the end of February surprised us with the beautiful winter morning. It is worth to show it here because this kind of opportunity will come only after next four years.
It was good idea to leave home for enjoyable walk on the Rockway trail in the sunny Sunday. This time of the year when the trees and bushes are naked you can see the creek and falls. The way is a little bit muddy but it worth to have a walk to watch all the beauty of area.
The cloud of fog above Niagara Falls foot exist in any weather in any season. However, in the winter time because of cold it is huge. If the wind blowing from the Falls, you need to use the umbrella to stay dry and warm. From the other side, in the hot summer day the drizzle brings the comfort and pleasure.
After week of snowfalls in Niagara region we have beautiful sunny day today. I could not resist to visit Niagara Falls to watch Sunrise. Despite the cold morning it was awesome time to be there with fellow photographers waiting for the Sun.
There is snow, frost (-10C or 14F), wind and sun around . This is what we have seen in the morning through the window. Finally, we have real winter day. It’s time to be outside and enjoy the cool fresh air, bright sun and drifting snow.
Many years has passed since the time when Christmas Eve was with the grandparents, parents, children and people who did not have place to celebrate this lovely event. Nowadays it is quiet and silent evening full of memories and joy of life.
December in Welland so far is looking like Spring. There is no snow, temperature is about plus 12 Celsius, quiet and sunny evening. Sun is coming down. Peaceful time in the park.
This week the weather treated us with warm, sunny, almost summer days. All the colours of Autumn on the evening sun light said farewell to beautiful days of Canadian Fall.
It’s better to go for a walk more and more often To the cool, crispy, and airy October park. Where there is not summer hot anymore. Where the leaves do not promise youth.
