Hi. I live now on Vancouver Island near the beach and a small patch of old growth forest, spending my days at play. I explore this geography around me, travel further afield, take lots of pictures, look at art, make some art and hang out in my cedar greenhouse. I listen to a lot of music, go to pilates, watch reruns of DaVinci’s Inquest and read a lot about whatever I’m currently obsessed with – which at the moment is Burma.

This is my 7th year (2013) of personal blogging. I continue not only because it’s a way to keep in touch with friends who are spread around the globe and rarely seen in many cases, but also because it has become a fun place for me to be, a journal and a place to connect my photos with my tales of whatever is on my mind.

Hope you enjoy.

Jeannie, March 2013
