When my readers learn I've travelled across Canada, the US and around the globe for some 32 years on assigment to photograph and write about distance lands and the peoples, they invariably ask me my favourite destination. My reply? I'm living on it--Vancouver Island! They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I invite you to join me on a pictorial journey capturing the local bounty, artisans, people and places that combine to make Vancouver Island a true PARADISE!
