My husband and I have recently taken up scuba diving. It is HARD work here on the west coast. Drysuits and polar fleece underwear that leave you feeling like an astronaut are just the start. Add in another 70 lbs of gear and lead to carry on your back (that’s more than half my body…
Winter arrived early in Victoria. My project theme was given to me by mother nature. I went out with my camera on Saturday morning before the wedding to capture the snow.

Teresa Hertog-Lesiuk - You amaze me girl.
