Remembrance Day 2019
My cousin, Barry Phipps, has shared three of his photos with me this remembrance day, His work illustrates a love of nature that lends a special touch to the remembrance of those who have fought in wars.
Barry and cousin Michael Osten and my cousin Geri Cole and I have spent time to remember and honour these brave young men.
My father served in the Canadian Navy and took part in the Battle of the Atlantic. He sailed on two corvettes, The Saskatoon and the Matane.

Winter Wildlife and Landscape Photography – Barry Phipps
Barry has shared some of his 2018 photography with me, which I now share with you.
His photographs of birds and animals are hard to equal. He captures both in their natural environment and provides the landscapes of the area where he photographs them.
