Wow, My First Ever Blog Entry!

Welcome and thanks for checking out my site. I hope you enjoy the images and also learning about my new project, Third Eye Gallery and our little farm. We've had an incredibly busy, wonderfully creative and enjoyable year, particularly since the spring, planning the physical gallery on our property, having it built, and at the same time preparing the land and planting another 250 lavender plants, a small herb garden and planting and moving lots of other perennials around the place. Gardening has become my new passion and you will see some of that reflected in the digital images from the garden.

Those pictures are also an indication that I did not get far from the farm this summer to shoot anything else as the work here was all-consuming. This is the year for planting the seeds, literally and figuratively, for things to come in the future, the business of the gallery shop and the lavender and herbal products of We Are One Farm. It is a labour of love based on a vision of creating something both beautiful and healing, in the products we create from what we grow, in the images I print, and in the place itself as a special and lovely corner of the world.

I hope you also like the changes to my web site, a long time coming due to my own procrastination and inability to find the right person to do a major update and overhaul. I think Jay Gilmore of SmashingRed Web & Marketing has done a great job, making it easy to navigate and view the images. There are a few images missing from my Polaroid and Hand-coloured galleries that I need to find and a few new ones to create for the About Me page, so I expect we'll have some tweaking here an there for a bit, but otherwise I guess we're up and running! Thanks Jay!!

Now if you can only shut me up now that I have a blog... We may have opened a can of worms here as I have a lot of thoughts these days needing expression, most of which are entirely unrelated to photography, but perhaps we'll save those for some of the snow days through this winter when I have time to wax philosophical.

And winter seems to have come early here in Lunenburg County, so it shouldn't be long 'til my next post.
