nature – thru my lens

I’m back….

Well it has certainly been a busy summer. I finished my first year of college, YAY! Great learning experience even online. I was looking forward to a productive finish to August however I broke my leg just before school ended and alas I have been very limited on my needle art studio setup, travel toContinue reading “I’m back….”

encounter with reality

So as the weekend has flown by working on my magazine, setting up interviews, transcribing and taking photos for my next assignment, I am thinking of all the incredible photos I have taken in Nicaragua.

let’s have some sunshine today

I have been going over the photos from my journeys abroad for inspiration and I am having difficulty choosing what to write about today. As everyone in Canada, I too am at home and continuing my studies here at my desk while my hubby is working in our den; both of us communicating with theContinue reading “let’s have some sunshine today”
