First Woman Bishop in BC Oct 18,2009

The Anglican Church in BC becomes a leader with the Consecration and Installation of Barbara Andrews as Bishop of the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior. She is the 6th woman Bishop in Canada but a first for British Columbia. On Sunday Oct 18th at 4pm, St.Paul's Cathedral in Kamloops was filled with family,friends,clergy,bishops and Archbishops to celebrate this historical event. I covered the events leading up and throughout for Bishop Barbara.What an honour this has been for me..an advocate of women as priests since I was 16!! Bishop Barbara will be in our city in November!

October News... Images win at Digital Competition

At the beginning of the month we had a Digital Competition here in Prince George. We had a large number of enteries (82) I had 4 images hang and two receive trophies.I want to thank all the babies and their parents who are apart of a Pediatric Project I am currently working on to display photography of children on the 2nd floor of (Peds) at our local hospital,the Prince George Regional Hospital. This image of these cuties, titled "Bummed", won the hearts of the judges for the Wally West Portrait Trophy. This was the first time I have received this award. The " Fluid Fields" image won the Pictorial Trophy named for Haida Saefkow who was a pioneer photographer in Smithers.It was a trophy I had received before so it was lovely to get it back again.In the new year this will be available as a canvas for sale.

Beautiful British Columbia - Holidays

June I don't remember much of like many of us with the ending of School

and oh so much more.But July I do as I am holidays.First to a family reunion

on the island celebrating my parents 50th Anniversary & another Reunion of friends in Osoyoos Now up in Kelowna,

where fires have been playing havoc.Smoke filled days have now been replaced

with cleaner air.It has been scorching with temperatures in Osoyoos at 42 one

day.Winds have been a blessing to cool us by but alternately fanned the flames.

So good to rejuvenate one's self and reconnect with all.
