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.

After being snowed on last weekend at Frank Lake I decided to return on Saturday and see what I might have missed that day. There is a wonderful observation blind that stretches out into the water, still within the reeds but with a great view of open water too. I found that if you stay in there long enough a variety of waterfowl will pass through t...

It’s been awhile since I was out shooting, the weather has been miserable and I’ve been holed up inside wishing and hoping and waiting for spring. Had a visit to Las Vegas recently and it probably did more harm than good because coming home to cold and drab put me in a weather funk. However, I had signed on to host a group of photographers out at F...

Return of the Swans

March 29, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
Another example of why you should let people know what you are up to is what happened on Wednesday. A couple of friends who live in the country let me know where they saw a large flock of swans. Hurrah! The geese are returning, I saw robins the other day and now swans are passing through – Spring is arriving! We headed out armed with the informati...

Expectations

March 23, 2013  •  4 Comments
What happens when you head into a photo shoot with an expectation in your mind about what you are going to see and shoot and the reality of the event is light years from your expectations? There is a small log cabin in town that is about to be moved or demolished. It’s located on a main road so if you are heading to the west side of town you are l...

Snowy Owls

A couple of days ago I had the opportunity to go out shooting Snowy Owls. What cool birds they are! These guys summer on the arctic tundra, so they are not as reclusive during the day as other owls, Your chance of seeing one during the daylight hours are greatly improved. Thanks to Tim Lee for inviting some fellow photogs out and sharing his knowle...
