In January 2014 we built a fish pond outside our bedroom window. It had been something we'd been thinking about ever since we shifted in, in 2009. I've had a fish pond in every home I've owned over the past almost 40 years. This one took two whole days and my husband, our son-in-law Ben, and his father, Dave, assisted with the project.

Garden Photobook – a gift for a loved one
I love photographing people's gardens, capturing the essence of their styles and what makes them happy. Recently I photographed the garden of an 85 year old who was leaving the region to live with family elsewhere. She'd been in her home and garden over 40 years so it's a big thing for her to leave. She was also a sculptress in her younger years … [Read more...] about Garden Photobook – a gift for a loved one

Wall Art
Have you thought about having photos pasted onto walls (like wallpaper) or imprinted into glass walls? An insurance company in Mulgrave, Victoria, Australia has and I was delighted to be invited to a viewing of two walls they had imprinted with my photos on them. I just couldn't imagine how they would look so big but I think you'll agree, they … [Read more...] about Wall Art
Garden Passion
When I was a young girl I would love to stay with my grandmother on school holidays and one of the things we would do together was work in her garden. Grandma had a lovely cottage garden filled with canna lilies, marigolds, cosmos, geraniums and a range of other plants and flowers. She taught me all sorts of things about gardening but most of all, … [Read more...] about Garden Passion
