In my retirement, I’m enjoying many of the things I’ve waited years to do. Not to be misunderstood however, I greatly enjoyed business development; especially the creative implementation of them (and friends I've made along the way!). I occasionally miss the business world, until I remember the taxing hours developing a business demands. I’ve been brainstorming, “What can I do that would combine my passion for business and fill my creative soul?”. Oh my gosh, the answer has been in my face the whole time, a career in travel photography. So, to fill that void I now have (this) website that offers a printing service. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram (look for their links at the bottom of each page). The photographic industry has changed so much (since I had my photo lab and studio), that I have had a lot to learn. I really enjoy the challenge though, and the creative results are (personally) rewarding. I know I’ll be continually challenged but what a great way to keep both my brain active, myself active and my creative soul engaged. ABOUT THIS PHOTO: This photograph contains 14 photos (Yes! ...14, all layered on top of each other), as well as HOURS of tedious work to set it up and a lot of time post processing. LOL, I quickly discovered that the water droplets had a mind of their own! I can’t tell you how many times I had everything just .....perfect, when a droplet would drop off, roll together or, or, or! :-) *FYI: The droplets are ONLY 3 mm wide.
Unbeknownst to many, British Columbia has a thriving and world renowned wine industry. There are five wine producing regions in BC; Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, Fraser Valley, the Similkameen Valley and the Okanagan Valley, ....which is pictured here. There are a total of 370 licensed wineries in BC and 929 vineyards. 120 wineries are located here in the Okanagan Valley. More than 60 (grape) varieties are produced, including: Merlot, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. The BC wine industry contributes 2.8 billion dollars to the British Columbia’s economy yearly and welcomes more than 1 million visitors each year. That said, the Okanagan Valley is a year round hot spot, with beautiful lakes and beaches, world class golf courses and numerous world renowned ski resorts. British Columbia has a lot to offer; wineries, stunning mountains, clear blue lakes, islands, rain-forests, beautiful stretches of old growth coastline, picturesque cities,, cute towns, and world-class skiing, too. Together these things make British Columbia an extremely popular destination. Be sure to add BC to your "must see" bucket list!
