Some Things Can Only Happen In Winter


Some Things Can Only Happen In Winter, originally uploaded by Our Enchanted Garden

Some things can only happen in the middle of winter and that makes me smile because I can be reminded how truly special and unique each day is.
So while I am looking forward to the passing of winter and the warmth that spring promises I'll be patient and enjoy the beauty that winter's unique perspective creates around me.

Thanks again for the reminders Mother Nature, and I'll still look to spring fondly, if you don't mind!

Meet Fred, an algae eater


Meet Fred, an algae eater, originally uploaded by Our Enchanted Garden

Dear Fred the Placastamus
He's been getting used to the aquarium which has been running for over a month now. Seems to be quite comfortable in his new home.

I think I'll have fun and experiment with taking shots of the tank as the fish develop. Fred has some spiny fins that I hope to capture in a good photo. Will use my tripod to keep the image more in focus! I might even remember to clean the tank on the outside before I shoot next time!

Walk in the garden.blogspot.com; a photo blog

It's our belief the Earth on which we live is truly an Enchanted Garden. Nature has a magical way of creating and sustaining itself, usually with an incredible abundance and variety of expression. This is actually the natural way of the world we live in, despite human attempts to rally against or fight or ignore nature.

A Photo-Blog with a fun and quirky flavor, including some digital artwork, inspirations, experiments and the stories behind them giving some insight into how a couple of happy gardeners view our backyard and our world!
Visiting is just like taking a Walk In The Garden

We planned our landscaping to reflect our appreciation for the natural world and the desire to observe nature up close by making use of native plant varieties, allowing seed bearing plants to stand as feed for wildlife and creating a healthy micro-environment for them. Sometimes even the garden visitors: mainly birds and squirrels leave seeds and bulbs that surprise us later on!

I enjoy sharing some of the magical photographs and images I'm grateful to be able to capture and create. Other fun photos and stories highlighting the rest of our life in the garden will inevitably show up here too. Road trips, camping, fishing, biking, our dogs and our rescue foster pups and their antics, are the likely topics!

My photo
Guelph, ON, Canada
I celebrate nature, the natural world and the human spirit immersed within it. My passion is in sharing the simple reminders the garden and nature share with me. Through my photographic adventures I've learned something we humans often overlook; We are a part of Nature, not apart from it! That we are human spirits immersed within this magical, miraculous and beautiful world. Understanding this fundamental truth has been changing my life in lovely ways. I look forward to and welcome further developments this focus provides and hope you might be inspired to reconnect with the natural world around you!
