Welcome Glitter Graphics

I am a retired Dental Office Manager being interested in digital photography, I love to take photos of our garden, scenery, my orchids, our cats and our family. Lately I have taken a Photoshop course over the Internet to enable me to manipulate my photos and to apply textures to my images.

I live in the Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada with my husband Brian and two cats Rascal and Snowflake.

My goal here is to show the beauty of the place where I live and places I had the good fortune to visit and to showcase my orchid collection, my other hobby besides photography.

I hope you'll enjoy visiting my albums and I welcome technical and aesthetic feedback on my shots.

"I have been very lucky and privileged to meet Irene here on Flickr. Her photography has a very personal touch with lots of her flower captures being fruits of her love and dedication to plants. When you look through her flower pictures you will see why is she such inspiration to me and many others. She captures the very essence of their beauty with creativity. She also shares many other captures from her life, her travels and her personal, tender family moments. Looking through her stream you will see that there is a beautiful person behind the camera. Her comments to my pictures are always uplifting, generous and personal. I'm very honoured that I have got to know Irene through here, one of the most beautiful people inside and out. Thank you Irene."
