It Lives

I've recently become interested in photographing the decaying garden. It started in the spring when I spent an hour photographing a garden while it was still brown but on the verge of exploding into green. I'm starting to appreciate both the garden and nature's seasons on

Reflections on Where I Am

Since moving to Nelson I've discovered many things, not only about small towns, but also just about living in a climate that is pretty much smack dab in the middle of where I grew up, and where I've been living the past five years. I also have no land.

Container Garden Clean-up

Today was a dry and mild reprieve from the awful cold, wet and sometimes windy late fall weather we've been enduring here in Southern Ontario -- a good day to do some garden work. I have found frozen water in the trays underneath the containers on the
