I've played around with photography throughout my life with all sorts of film, and Polaroid and pin-hole cameras. I finally bought a DSLR two years ago and loved the immediate gratification of seeing, for better or worse, what came out of the camera. It continues to be both a joyous and a humbling experience!

Always a passionate gardener, I launched a seasonal photo/gardening blog, Distant Gardens, two summers ago to celebrate the beauty of other people's gardens. (http://www.distantgardens.com) By defining gardens loosely as "anywhere anything is growing outside my own garden: rural/urban, public/private, small farm/backyard garden, wild/cultivated, flowers/vegetables," I've given myself a pretty wide range of garden-related things to photograph and write about.

So, for now, most of my Flickr photographs are flower and gardening related. It's a great exercise having to have photographs ready to support a blog article every day just when the gardens require the most time. Although being outside with a camera is one of my favorite things to do, so it's not really a chore...more a balancing act.

    is truly amazing!

    Wonderfully composed delicate flowers, dressed
    in pastels, that almost seem to dance with joy
    in her use of beautiful light!!
