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 had the pleasure of meeting Lori Connors when I went out to Cayley to chat, shoot and prepare for my last blog, but I came away so overwhelmed by the two ladies (Estelle & Lori) creating their art in an old church that I had to ask Lori to meet me again so I could pry deeper into her history. I realize now why I didn’t feel I had got a good handl...

In the Artist's Studio with Estelle Selin

August 21, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
Estelle Selin and Lori Connors work in the same studio space so I was able to get shots of both their works and their work space in one visit a couple of weeks ago just before I headed out on a short holiday. The actual interview process was a little more complicated as their stories often wove together and yet were very individual. Therefore I wil...
