My Nature Photos

In the process of doing my nature photography over the past 20 years, I've found more and more things of interest....  And more locations.  Besides that, the fresh air, sunshine, and exercise are good, too.  These days, of course a lot of people have camera cellphones and it's easy for them to take their own photos....  I realize that and I encourage them to do so.  People can also enjoy my photos, if they wish to.

Parks, large and small, are located within our cities in Canada and elsewhere; and still larger parks are located outside of the cities.  Some people have homes or cottages in country areas and I think they're fortunate if they can maintain them....  And some people travel to tropical destinations for their vacations....  There's a fair bit of nature around, if we want to make use of it....

Nature Art--2

This photo and the previous one in Nature Art--1 were taken near North Bay, Ontario at Duchesnay Falls.

Introduction--Part 2

There have been some legal matters which I've been involved in for a period of time and they're explained elsewhere on the Internet.  These matters haven't been resolved yet.  But in this blog, I'm not wanting to promote or connect directly with those issues.  I'd like this blog to be separate.

NOTE, added on August 23, 2018:  In this blog, I haven't normally promoted my legal matters very much but recently I stated I'd like this nature blog to support the legal blogs....  So, there is some connection and I don't mind acknowledging it.... 

Introduction

In this blog, I'd like to share some nature photos of mine and encourage people who are struggling with their lives.

First of all, will state that I'm not a professional counselor.  I'm a person who has been through a lot in my lifetime, and I've survived!  If I can make it, others can too; and I'd like to encourage them.  Will explain more as I go along....

As for my background, I spent some time in university but didn't graduate.  I've traveled halfway around the world, including all across Canada; throughout Western Europe and Great Britain; and to some states in the eastern and southern United States.  My mother was a registered massage therapist; and I received my certification in reflexology.  My certification has since expired because I wasn't able to keep up with the upgrading requirements but I've continued to maintain an interest in health.

Would like to explain briefly what reflexology is because many people don't know.... Reflexology is a natural therapy which has an effect on the nerves, which may have a helpful effect on the entire body; and some types of reflexology have a direct, beneficial effect on the circulation in the body, also.  Reflexology is mainly performed on the feet, where there are a lot of nerve-endings, but it may be performed on the hands and head as well.
