Marie has created a wonderful garden of flowers and food at our home in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I primarily photograph wild plants, animals and the landscapes they inhabit but since Marie has created a garden I have become interested in photographing domestic plants. Since wild flowers have evolved to attract pollinators, they are alluring to bees, flowers, flies, butterflies and other small creatures that have senses very different from ours. Fortunately, most of them also look attractive to us. Domestic flowers, on the other hand, are designed to be appealing to humans and consequently tend to be both big – some are huge – and many are intensely and strikingly coloured.

A photograph never captures the same image that the human eye sees. I have tried experimenting with very long exposures because they reveal aspects of moving water that aren’t apparent to the human eye.

Fossilized stromatolites can be found in a few locations northwestern Ontario. The fossilized stromatolites in the bedrock along the shore of Lake Superior between Rossport and Schreiber, Ontario are over two billion years old. A recent article about these stromatolites can be found in the November 2009 issue of Lake Superior Magazine. A less extensive, but easily accessible fossilized stromatolite, can be seen in a rockcut near Kakabeka Falls, Ontario
