We are really enjoying our moose this winter. After the wildfires in 2010 we didn't see these guys much at all. It's so cool to wake up in the morning to find a couple of moose bedded down in the snow waiting for the sun to hit their backs before they rise.
We don't pass up any opportunity to take wildlife photos and our moose are pretty comfortable now with us moving about and doing what we do.
Besides wildlife, one of the other things I love to photograph is a brand new wooden ring created by my amazing husband; the man who pioneered and introduced the steam bent wood ring. And he really is amazing. Not only did he "start a revolution in the jewellery industry" as a very early client predicted; but our off grid comfort is due in large part to his knowledge, creativity and ingenuity.
And, every ring that David creates has a real and wonderful person at the other end, each with a love story and a good, kind heart.
People we have the great pleasure of getting to know.
People who become friends.
We are honoured and humbled to work with each of you.
I love this Touch Wood Engagement Ring.
