An old photo and a new poem met at a desk… 😉
A favourite picture from my garden that exudes joy ~ ‘Bright Lights’ Cosmos dancing in the summer sun!
If I were a flower,
I’d want to dance…
invite a soft breeze
to lead the way,
swirl in the sun,
have friends join in,
release inhibitions,
allow joy to flow.
If I were a flower,
I’d want to dance…

Whether on quiet country walks, in our farmyard or on a favourite trail, my camera is always close at hand. Documenting and sharing moments in time from our family farm in rural Manitoba is an integral part of my daily life. More images can be found on Instagram @sandiknight.
Florals
From our farmyard, the open prairies, rural roadsides and a friend’s garden, these captures represent the beauty and joy flowers of all kinds bring to my life.
Sunsets
I will never tire of praire sunsets. They breathe life into the sky and bring a calmness to my heart. I love the every changing skies, wide-open spaces and peacefulness of watching the stunning transformations at the end of day.
Birds and Butterflies
From endangered species like the Red-headed woodpecker to the common American Robin, our farmyard is visited by over 80 species of birds yearly. With milkweed abundant on our rural roadsides, monarch butterflies also find our area a welcoming habit which is enhanced by flowering native trees and a diversity of flowers in my garden. These are some of my favourite captures to date.
Crops
Canola will always be the star of the show on the Canadian prairies, but wheat, alfalfa and sunflowers also make appearances on this card series.
Autumn
The best season! Cool mornings, warm days, trees dressing into their vibrant hues, leaves letting go and dancing downward. From our farmyard, my favourite trails and parks these are a few on my most-loved captures.
The Lake
Our farm is near Lake Manitoba so a trip to it’s shores is always a welcome reprieve in the summer.
Winter
Oh the beauty of winter! Snow, hoarfrost and rimefrost magically transform the landscape. Harsh winds sculpt beautiful snowdrifts, and the light and skies are enchanting!
