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.

Another event lost to Covid restrictions this holiday season was the annual LDS Church Nativity Display. I have chosen a selection of images from past years and put them together for your enjoyment. One of these years I will ask permission to access the display at a time when it is not open to the public. Maneuvering a tripod around with the cro...
