A true friend is someone you can disagree with and still remain friends. For if not, they weren’t true friends in the first place. – Sandy Ratliff
Born in Scotland, married, mother of three grown daughters and have 6 beautiful grandchildren. I live in Manitoba, Canada, one of the prairie provinces. Most of my scenery is from those areas, although I do live close to the eastern lakes area of the province and visit my favorite parks often.
My husband and I have been married 41 wonderful years, and travel quite a bit, usually within Canada and the United States. So you will see a mixed bag of shots from both countries.
I love photography, camping, traveling, crafts, flower gardening and music. I’ve been taking photographs most of my life, upgrading to the newest cameras as they came on the market. Now with digital, I am having the time of my life. I’ve had photos published in “Canadian Wildlife” A Magazine of the Canadian Wildlife Federation in November/December issue in 2007 and the September/October issue 2008.
My camera equipment includes:
Canon 50D – 15MP
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi – 10MP
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT- 8MP
Canon Powershot A80 – 4MP
Sigma 150-500mm OS Zoom Lens
Canon 75-300mm Zoom Lens
Canon 17-85mm IS Lens
Canon 18-55mm Lens
Regarding my calendars: I do not have a problem with assembling calendars made up of photos of your choice. Just pick your favorites, be it a theme of color, scenery, flowers, you name it, just bubblemail me and ask
I hope you enjoy my work. It’s a pleasure to be in this site. If you have a minute you might like to check out my photos on my personal website 

With much pride and honor, thank you!
