Gardening has been a hobby, passion and
almost a basic need of my existance for as long as I can
remember. Hope you enjoy a stroll through my garden.
Photography has been a means of recording
my garden, my travel experiences and more recently an
attempt to learn all aspects of making good pictures and
explore more artistic expressions of my hobbies and
surroundings. Hope you enjoy my creative attempts and
documentary shots and return to see if I am making any
progress.
My husband and I have
been taking trips every year for 35 years. At first we
had 2 - 3 weeks per year of holidays from our places of
employment. More recently we have more time and so travel
more. We have been to Europe several times, as well as
trips in Canada and the US. We spend time on tours with
the old car clubs and exploring Canada in our camper van.
Care to join us?
I am fortunate to live
in a beautiful, small city, Victoria, B.C. with a wonderful moderate climate.
Victoria is on Vancouver Island off the west coast of
Canada. We have unique architecture, seascapes and
moutain views. To record some of these treasures with my
camera is my latest endeavor. Our city is constantly
changing and growing. I hope to record a few of the
interesting nooks and crannies in town and up and down
the pennisula.
I will be adding links
to sites that pertain to each of my hobbies on the
appropriate page, with a summary page of all the links.
I hope I have not forgotten anyone. Please contact me if
you would like to be mentioned. See the links summary
page.
My latest madness
(since 1999) has been playing on my computer. There is
sooooo much to learn. I am recording some of my small
triumphs on this infernal machine in my blog.
Please feel free to comment on my blog. When I find time
I like to read, also, but this pass time is suffering
badly from lack of time. I may need a sabbatical from my
PC.
I would love to hear
your comments and any suggestions for improvement in my guestbook. I hope my mentors are not too
dismayed at this, my first attempt to build a web page.
Its a lot of fun. Like a garden, this page will be
constantly changing, growing more beautiful as I learn to
take care of it, I hope.
My page will be under construction for
quite a while, as I have numerous albums yet to be
completed. I have created 'under construction' pages for the unfinished albums, as a sample of what is in the album.
Progress Report:
As at April 16, 2007: under Gardening I have completed the albums January to May and the Water garden sub page with 3 albums. under Photography I have finished the series: Chastity, Homework, Lambs, Long Beach, Waves, Raven Affair, Richards Rust, and Star Trek.under Travel I have completed the albums from Pre 1989 to 2005 inclusive.

This is an old
fashioned page authored by an old fashioned girl. Hope
you enjoy it.
