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.

Yes we will have Spring - we will visit lovely gardens again. It's still a while away and until that time comes I hope this virtual garden walk will help you pass the time.

Happily he has taken up residence in Victoria which has an abundance of wonderful gardens. Did I mention I love visiting gardens? We are so looking forward to our next trip west and will d...

Ribbet the Exhibit was a special exhibit at the garden created by artist Andy Cobb. I would visit these wonderful characters again in a heartbeat if they come to garden near me! Enjoy this virtual visit to the...
