Description
Comox is a small town on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and one of it's nicest features is the long,narrow landform known as Goose Spit. Stretching out in a sort of bow shape, it encloses a sheltered lagoon which forms the actual harbour, providing a safe anchorage for many pleasure boats. The beach itself is sandy and facing the open water to the sout. There are a number of unique and rare plants in the area as well. I loved the brilliant green umbrella contrasting with the blue shades of the sea and sky.

.. A little about me:
My name is Janet but I go by Jann, and I am originally from Ontario, Canada and .have lived on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, since 1985.
I love the seacoast and mountains, so many of my photos are from British Columbia, Alberta, Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. My main photo themes are sea, coastal,villages, people, portraits, mountains, trees, lakes, waterfalls, flowers, nature,wildlife, birds, animals, landscapes, sunsets, and the great National Parks of Canada such as Jasper,Banff, Waterton, Cape Breton Highlands, Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay,Mt. Robson, Strathcona and others.

In the art world, I was initially trained as a Commercial Artist and Illustrator and eventually explored many other methods of art/style as well as other mediums. I work in pencil, ink, acrylics, watercolor and oil pastels. I have also enjoyed mosaic design and application, floor murals, wall murals, collapsible screens, floor cloths, graphic design. Explored sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, hand painted furniture, refinishing old frames with gold leaf or faux finishes, interior design and interior decorating.
……….
With the advent of digital cameras I came to really enjoy photography both as an artistic expression as well as a foundation for capturing interesting and exciting compositions to be painted later.
………
My recent creative endeavour was graduating from a certified Cosmetology Program (hairstylist and esthetics) in March 2009.
