I took up photography soon after retirement from nursing in country South Australia. My first camera was the early digital - 2.1 megapixel Canon Ixus, progressing to my two Canon Digital SLR cameras, the newest being a Canon 5 DEOS - a full frame camera.

Along this steep learning curve I purchased a variety of lenses and filters. I favour the wide angle lense for landscapes, shooting mainly in AV mode. I generally photograph landscapes, gardens and wildlife and edit my images using Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Commencing April 26th 'A Moroccan Adventure' followed by 'Secret Gardens of Tuscany and France'. I am told the light in Tuscany is a photographers delight! Imagine the colour and culture to capture in Morocco. Yes, you guessed it, a garden tour.

I equally enjoy travelling throughout Australia and look forward to bringing you more images of this fabulous country.
