Welcome to my Blog.

 

As a nature photographer, I enjoy getting out of doors to go shooting flowers and what better place to find flowers than in a garden. I am fortunate to have a number of friends here in High River, Alberta, who are fabulous gardeners so I have plenty of opportunities locally. I also love to travel and wherever I am I look for gardens to visit. I recently created a gallery of gardens, here on my website, that I have visited. I am now creating a series of blog posts designed to share my garden experiences with whoever happens by.

 I would love to hear from readers of this blog - have you also visited some of these gardens? Are there gardens near you I should definitely put on my "must visit" list? Or just drop a line to say "Hi"!

If you would like to be notified when I put up a new blog please send me a message with your email address by clicking the Contact link and I will make sure to drop you a note whenever I post a new one.

I promise I will not share your email with anyone else.

From time to time I may add other topics of interest to me, I hope they will be of interest to you too.

 

Take care and stay safe.

I am gifted to have several fabulous garden friends right here in High River. A visit to their gardens is a double win as I get to spend time in a beautiful place and also visit with friends. When visiting Reg and Marlene's garden I also get to see award winning gladiolas as they continue to develop new and beautiful variants of these plants.

It All Began in a Garden - Ethel M Botanical Cactus Garden, Las Vegas NV

While not exactly in Las Vegas, it's pretty close in Henderson. One city flows into the next sometimes. Just so you know there is much more to Las Vegas than casinos and "the strip". There is a wonderful cactus garden that is well worth a visit. And as an aside, although I did not go in, there is a tour of the candy factory right beside the garden.

The Coutts Centre, located a few kilometres outside Nanton Alberta is a wonderful place to visit for anyone seeking a little peace and loveliness in their life. Take a picnic and plan on enjoying the space as long as you like. Even when they close they don't kick you out - they just lock the washrooms and any other buildings. As a photographer, sho...
