I am retired computer scientist from the University of Victoria, Dept of Computer Science. I am a keen photographer - especially natural world images - macro and landscapes. Native wildflowers are my passion. Although expert at nothing other than being myself (and sometimes I struggle with that) there are a few species I feel I know quite well. Thanks to iNaturalist, I am expanding my knowledge base almost daily!

I love to hike and mountain climb - especially "off-piste" - so I sometimes get to "interesting" places.
