I’m a naturalist-photographer-writer, formerly a resident of eastern Ontario, but currently traveling throughout North America with my collie, Sabrina. My online nature photo gallery features approximately 6,000 images reflecting the biodiversity of places I’ve wandered. In the past, I wrote about nature at my blog, Burning Silo, but more recent posts may be found at Journey to the Center, where I’ve been documenting my travels and nature observations since the untimely death of my husband and best friend, Don.
My photographs have appeared in numerous publications, websites, in natural history exhibits, on nature trail interpretive signage, and in video productions – please see below for a partial list of places where images have appeared. I’m a graduate of Carleton University (Hon. BA, 93; Master of Arts, 94).
