Just a short post today as my husband and I are heading out on another adventure. Rather than posting more photos of snow, the New Year depicts to me new beginnings. What I look forward to the most is the signs of new growth in the garden once the snow has melted. The photos above […]
Dec 2016 Winter Descends on the Fintry Delta 2016 Spring/Summer Moments 2016 Another year has gone by and I always like to review highlights of the garden year and my photography exploits which went beyond just floral. Here are some of my favourite memories. I always look forward to spring as it is a […]
BLAZE OF YELLOW LEAVES This is my favourite time of the year to capture the essence of fall in Fintry Provincial Park. I have a particular walk I go on each day and I spent a good couple of hours this morning taking photos of scenes along the way while the sun was shining. At the […]
Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. As ever I had way too much turkey but it always tastes so good along with all the trimmings. I spent a week looking after my grandkids and actually had them help me do some garden clean up from raking leaves to putting all the prunings from the hydrangea paniculata […]
I always seem to start off with the same sentence but once again this month has just flown by.

Welcome to the Changing Season of September – time to reflect on the accomplishments made in the garden and there is always room for improvement. As we move into the month of September it is a great time for assessing the garden and floral photography. I not only take photos of my own […]

I hope everyone is enjoying these long hazy summer days. August is passing by far too quickly. In between entertaining family and out-of-town guests and keeping up on the garden and produce, I cherish the early or late afternoon walks through Fintry Provincial Park capturing the different light. The fields are covered in a large […]
As we progress into the month of July the picture looks very different from this time last year when we were threatened with a nearby forest fire. Due to varying weather patterns the garden is looking very lush and green and the blooms are very vibrant. In particular the hydrangea paniculata has almost doubled in […]
