Member since Tuesday, 11 Sep 07

Photographer who moved from big city Vancouver (where one can garden 8 months of the year) to Nelson, B.C., where that time is considerably cut short, and the town is much smaller. When I’m not in my garden, I’m working on my own business where I offer product and commercial photography. I currently reside in zone 6B.

I’m originally from the prairies, Edmonton, Alberta to be exact. Sometimes I miss the yellows and oranges of all the wildflowers and the big wide open sky.

Here there’s all sorts of silly mountains in the way.
