Your Life As Art Photography by Pam
Artist & Intuitive | Pamela Zmija
The sun, through the branches of the snow covered trees was hard to resist. Nature truly is the most talented artist with its beauty.
Playing with my 180mm macro lens, for the reach up into the trees, with the sun in the perfect position!

As I opened wordpress and read my dashboard the numbers jumped out at me.
“Angel Number 222 encourages you to take a balanced, harmonious and peaceful stance in all areas of your life, no matter what the circumstances. Trust that everything will turn out forthe highest good of all in the long-term, so do not put your energies into negatives such as fear and worry, but rather, be aware that all is being worked out by spirit for the highest good of all involved. With positive affirmations, visualizations and a firm belief in yourself, you will manifest the best outcomes in all areas of your life.

Today after work, initially the last thing I wanted to do was be outside, after I got home all of a sudden I could hear a noise, it was the wind and boy did it pick up! Suddenly a whiteout in front of our house. After feeding the dog, I looked out and felt inspired.
I grabbed my Canon RP + the RF 24-240mm lens – a beautiful versatile lens that I had actually got ready on this body for a winter outing tomorrow. Standing in the kitchen, I knew this wasn’t the lens, it was snowing heavily and the wind was blowing. I needed one of my L lenses that is weather sealed. I almost grabbed for my EF 24-105 f4L and then my eyes fell on the EF 16-35mm f2.8L II – I grabbed this lens and my R6MII and headed outside with the dog.
The fun we had in a short amount of time, its exactly what my soul needed to transition into the weekend; starting with someone and something I love and re-ignite my love for this lens!
I went out thinking how it would be great to get winter shots up and down the road, my dog, who lets be honest he has grown up with a camera in his human mom’s hands, posed, so beautifully too!
He loves the snow, this image truly captures his snowy essence!
Its not often I go for this lens, after these photos I am reminded of its capability and beauty. The way it captured his fur, I am in love with! There is something about the L lenses that hold a piece of my heart.
Hope you were able to enjoy the snow today, even if just for a 10 minutes! The benefits of fresh air, as well as the beautiful creative boost of photographing the dog and scenery!
I simply cannot resist trees covered in a frosty snow with my macro lens. Another beauty captured with my longer macro. I just love how magical it feels.

Its a special day, for someone close to me, the sunshine is the perfect photo for today! <3
Nature + Sunshine + Photography have a beautiful way of healing me, pulling within and allowing my creative juices to flow. The bokeh of this lens is just so delicious to me!
It was a frosty winter morning the other day, it was chilly, but this is just beauty!
Frozen snowy evergreen in the sunshine!
The winter provides the best time for rest, relaxation and to really come home to who you really are. I enjoy the downtime, I love getting out into nature forest bathing and when I align into me, is when I feel my absolute best.
Monday morning as I left for work, I noticed in the dim morning light, the trees were beautifully blanketed in a frosty snow. I snapped a couple quick ones with my phone and silently hoped the trees would stay blanketed until I got home.
A lot of things happen and I will never know the answer, I am however grateful when true desires of my heart align. This photo popped out at me, it also reminds me of the Lens-Artists Challenge this week – Shapes and Designs!
I pulled out my Canon EF 180mm f3.5L macro lens – I LOVE the reach and given that the tree branches were higher up, this was the go to lens! The results, incredible.
I love the macro close up of this evergreen tree and the design of the branches with the frosty snow.
The energy this week has been interesting, up, down, and all around. What I am consciously choosing to do is always put out love and peace into the world. What better way to do that, than with what I love, what is the best desire and passions within my life, photography. I feel like we are on the verge of an energy boost, an energetic re-balance. I welcome it, with open arms.
Feeling and healing my own emotions, allowing them to be what they need to be, to process or just be. Recognizing any energy leaks. Learning to put me first without guilt. Honoring the individual journey. Mutual respect and laughter. Fun and frolics.
Photography helps fill a void for me that in many ways will always be. I capture what I love and those I love. Images that I would want to look back on, in the moment and even posed. Deep gratitude for all memories, even through the pain of realizing for some this is where it ends. A life transition, I am still not ready for, navigating step by step, day by day. Healing. Healing without guilt of the process, which feels daunting and long some days.
Knowing the joy, comfort and creative boost photography brings me, I truly hope everyone has some kind of interest like that, whatever it may be. We all deserve it.
Step into trust in your own life, first with yourself!
The other morning, as the temperatures warmed up, the trees had the most beautiful blanket of snow over them. I was grateful for my timing today, the tree’s were in the bright, warm sunlight and as I was taking photos the snow was gently beginning to fall.
For Terri’s Tuesday Flower Hour challenge, I selected this one on the morning of one of the coldest days of winter here in Southwestern Ontario.
Keeping the week priors Lens-Artists Rejected theme in mind, this has truly helped shift my creativity.
