It was neat to rub shoulders with a student of Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant. She studied their photographic techniques. I couldn't agree with her more when she said "it is a privilege to be asked to shoot some-ones garden. Visit her site www.thelmabeaubien.ca |

Robert Vautour's simple hose solution. A pictures worth... MY idea: To hold Water Barrel hose. Easy to install by predrilling, install hook. My wife is the green thumb but here is my tip. When I water I use a large pail. Rocks placed in the garden diffuse the water when I pour and I can also use as stepping stones. |
