Welcome to my little corner of the world. My images are as varied as our Nova Scotia weather. The more I learn about photography, the less I know! Not all my pictures are "great" photos but flickr has become like a visual diary for me. As you may notice, the little squirrels who live in my backyard have been the focus of my time on and off over the years.

 

Thanks for all who mark me as a contact and leave faves and comments now and then...I truly appreciate it! I have a hard time keeping up and often only have time to reply to those who leave me comments, but I will sometimes take a day and try to catch up..

 

In 2013, thanks to exposure on flickr, my squirrel photos went viral and this led to writing some picture books featuring my photos of my backyard squirrels interacting with my homemade props.

There were similar stories on Petapixel, a link in PhotoLife, and numerous blogs etc. The most surprising was a Skype interview with RTL German TV, and eventually some local media coverage. I never dreamed that my little hobby could spread so far...

Nancy, your work is marvelous. You had captured so well the essence of the nature beauty. It's like sweet scent of the earth I perceive from time to time in the spring and have long kept record of it, which I can not trace to any particular source. Your photography are beautiful and sincere. Keep up the good work.

I just "found" Nancy on Flickr a short time ago. And I'm so glad I did. Nancy's photos are thoughtful, rich....and I always love the accompanying text. Oh, and now I want to visit Nova Scotia again. N's view of that beautiful part of Canada delights me. It's always a joy to find a kindred spirit on flickr.

So, here is my stocking stuffer for Nancy. I met Nancy some time ago, we joked for a long time about the clear colored silicon breast implants attached to the underside of her picknick table. This image is in her stream. Nancy is an amazing photographer, she produces awesome images day in and day out. She takes her camera everywhere, and runs across major highways to capture beautiful images. We invite each other for coffee even though we are on opposite coast. She's sending me something stiff for my Christmas coffee. But back to Nancy she lives on the edge, takes award winning photographs, sounds like she is a great teacher at the school she teaches at and loves life. If you want to be wowed and impressed, pull up a chair and come see her stream, you'll never leave, you'll become a contact and you will make a wonderful flickr friend. Here's to you Nancy, you are phenomenal.
