Blogging

Shortly after I came out to British Columbia in early 2006 I had a case of severely high blood pressure. It wouldn't have been fair to an employer for me to work for them until I got my health situation sorted out. I was on medications to lower the blood pressure and it took until early 2007 to find the cause. I finally went to a naturopath who found that a microscopic parasite was the cause for all this.

While getting my health in order, I took up blogging to share my photography. This way I wasn't wasting time and others got to enjoy the photos, not just me and those close to me.

In May of this year I had a mini-stroke cause again by severely high blood pressure. I may end up gong to the naturopath again since the specialist and other MDs can't seem to find the cause. This has only been a problem out here. Before that in Ontario, the blood pressure was only marginally high, not severely high like in BC.

Knowledge is good because being forewarned is forearmed!

All that said, enjoy this blog and all the photos I share with you.

masthead pics

A couple of days ago I was spending some time creating masthead photos for this blog. You've probably seen the one above long enough, so its time to change it. These are from photos I've taken at Burrard Inlet and the Spanish Banks. Any thoughts on these? - V

flowers and bees

I was in Vancouver's West End a week ago this past Sunday. The photo above is just one of many I took while checking out the Davie Community Garden at Burrard and Davie Streets. I love having birds, or in this case, insects, to help gauge the size of things compared to what we know. There will be more images from my Vancouver visit soon and also more from the Balcarra to Sasamat Lake hike. Meantime, take care!!! - V
