I'm in my 50's and I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I am a lawyer by profession, but my hobbies are more on the artistic side -- music (singing and piano), photography, writing.
I am divorced and have one wonderful daughter, who is almost finished university and who lives nearby. My old Mum now lives with me, which is interesting, to say the least. :)
I have a beautiful, funny English Bulldog named Ruby. I take way too many photographs of Ruby. I can't help myself -- she's just too gorgeous!
Photography has been in my blood since I was born -- my late father was a really keen photographer, and we always had a darkroom in our house. And there were always multiple cameras, lenses, and all the other fun bits and pieces that go with them. I'm not a very accomplished photographer -- I mainly take what I think of as snapshots. I'd love to be a better photographer, and someday when I have more time to myself I plan to take courses, read books, and obtain some mad skills.
I love Flickr, and I love checking in with and hearing from the many Flickr friends I've made since I joined. For the last couple of years, though, I've been absent more than I've been present, due to life just getting a bit more demanding. I'm working at getting more Flickr-involved again, and also at getting back more deeply into photography.

"Fiona was one of my first contacts on Flickr and is one of my best. Her photos of her dog Ruby are priceless and make me laugh. She is honest and willing to show her daily life with us. She is a treasure and I'm lucky to have found her."

"Fiona is way-up-there with the most genuinely sincere people I know. Her photos always manage to put a smile on my face. Her comments and advice are as guarded as gold. Other than the free cheese, she’s probably the best thing about Flickr. You know we get free cheese, right?"
