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.

In the Artist's Studio with Cathie Johnson

This is the second in the series of blog posts created from conversations I plan on having with the artist members of the High River Art Society. If the first two visits are any indication I am going to like this project. I have learned much about two very talented yet dissimilar artists. Cathie is an accomplished watercolourist and is an active m...

In the Artist's Studio with Suzette Jones

It was great fun to visit with Sue in her studio today and have a conversation with her about her art and how she came to be where she is now as an artist and a teacher. Thank you Sue, for being my guinea pig, in this, the inaugural article/blog featuring artists of the High River Art Society. Like so many artists Sue did not pursue her inter...

Our Kiwi Adventure - Week One

March 17, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
March 2 - 4th Monday morning, the temps dropped, wind picked up and the snow blew. A fine day to start an adventure. Somewhere between LAX and Auckland we lost an entire day but that's ok apparently we'll get it back on the way home. Our arrival in NZ was quite uneventful. I had a brief encounter with a security beagle who was interested in my...

Flood 2013 - Around town

July 27, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
As a continuation to my last post, here are a series of images I took when Rob and I went out to find a bin for a load of garbage. We just could not bring ourselves to create a pile of it in the front of our place so we loaded the truck up a number of times and went in search of a dumpster bin with space. After we were allowed access to our neighb...

Flood 2013

July 21, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
On June 20th I was enjoying an outing at the Waterton Wildflower Festival with two of my sisters (Cheryl and Connie) and a friend (Judy) when word began to arrive that all was not right at home in High River. Being old flood pros, Judy and I figured it was a little "high water" which was understandable given the amount of rain that had been falling...
