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.

From garden visit to artist's studio and back again. This time we are revisiting the studio of an very accomplished oil painter who can't be slotted into one genre. She paints what she sees, what speaks to her and asks her to put their likeness to canvas.

I first met Marianne when her husband Ray began selling his woodworking pieces at a local arts and crafts store. It was after Ray joined the ranks of artisans a...

This is not a location I ever expected to visit let alone return to many times over the years. Since discovering this lovely oasis in the midst of the Las Vegas hustle and bustle I visit it whenever visiting the city that never sleeps.

In the Artist's Studio With Joyce Brown

I'm taking a bit of a departure from my usual virtual garden walks today. I have been a member of a group of artist's who sell their work out of Highwood Gallery & Gifts in High River AB for about a year and a half now. The artists struggle to share the word about the gallery and the work they offer there. In an effort to help out I offered to re-...
