About Me

I live on Lasqueti Island. A remote, off the grid island situated in the Georgia Straight of British Columbia. Although born and raised in Victoria BC, I instantly fell in love with the simple, back to nature, homesteading lifestyle that is Lasqueti.

​

Living off the grid can be challenging and is definitely hard work. We are responsible for our own power (solar), water (rain water collection/storage) and have to be self-sufficient. There is no "running to the store" as there are no stores or shopping on island. Our closest access to amenities is a one hour boat ride on our passenger only ferry (no cars) that takes us to Vancouver Island. A pleasant enough ride in calm weather but when the wind is blowing 40 km/hr with 15 foot waves it can be a little harrowing!

​

I bought my first DSL camera 2 years ago and since then have been obsessed with photographing nature and all that I see every day. We live on a mountain, surrounded by forests of Douglas Fir, Cedar, Maple and Alder. We own 10 acres but our property butts up against a 80 acres nature reserve. Every day I revel in watching the eagles, hawks, owls, ravens, wild deer and feral sheep.
