I have been trying to get a photo of an elk at this location FOREVER! I’ve heard them frequently, but the only other time I saw one here was before sunrise one morning (actually not too far from where I shot this photo) and it was THE MOST magical scene I’ve witnessed. But of course I didn’t have my camera with me…

Last week I ran out after work one day to squeeze in a few moments of nature as the colours had just started to pop here earlier in the week, and even though this is the only photo that turned out from that outing (I didn’t take much) I am so happy I finally had my camera with me when I spotted an elk! 🍂

Still can’t get over how gorgeous yesterday morning was! 🧡

I didn’t even notice the birds sitting on the bison until I was going through and editing photos last night 😂

This morning I decided to take a solo trip out of the city to find some wildlife and autumn landscapes to take photos of. (Solo?! Yeah you read that right. Surprising, I know!)

Well, nature had other plans for me today, and I hit a THICK blanket of fog heading out. (I’ve never seen fog this thick in my life! Nevermind drive through it! 😬 The last half of my drive was DICEY! Especially crossing the Westbound lanes on Hwy 16)

Miraculously I managed to find the turn into to Elk Island National Park (perhaps muscle memory from going so often🤷‍♀️😂) and spent a few hours photographing the foggy landscape and enjoying the solitude in nature.

Change of plans aside, this morning was absolutely wonderful! 🙂

Something a little different than my typical “portrait” shots that I’ve been sharing lately. I enjoy how environment shots are better at telling a story.
