Miniature Art as a Christmas Gift

Exhibition of Photography "Save the South March Highlands"

Beaver Pond Forest is one of my favorite places to walk, observe, meditate, learn and take shots of the beauty and richness of that amazing piece of land.  I have a particular interest in nature and I have taken amazing close-up photographs of my favorite trees in that beautiful forest.  

I am presenting an exhibition of photography entitled “Save the March Highlands” at the Ottawa Public Library from November 3 – 30^th, 2011 to share with people these beautiful images. 

My hope is to make people aware of that magnificent piece of land, which is one of the most ecologically significant and diverse areas in Ottawa and the danger we are facing to loose it forever.   We must try to save it and the proceeds of the sales of this exhibition would go towards that purpose.
