Today, I went back into the garden to take some photos of the self-designed greenhouses. I’m making a new book of my garden photos.

I am already tired of summer. Here's a picture from down the street in late spring. Those snowmen, women and children tried to warn me.

No "Constitutional Right" is absolute, none. You can't scream in front of my house at 2 am, you can't yell fire in a movie theatre if there isn't one ....and claim FREE SPEECH. I'm afraid that birthright citizens who obtain their citizenship through fraud may go the same way. Be prepared....

A Walk Towards the End of Spring β€” Jim Roche Photos The fast spring growth has become the slow but steady development of a dense and impenetrable wall of green. The structure seems, over time, to have become less understandable, knowable. What is behi...

Been working on this photo for a long time. Foolishly took it with my iPhone instead of my camera. Finally got it how I wanted it. For more photos visit my website: www,jimroche.ca

You know I almost agree, except I have had to attend these DEI programs for 20 years and they were unprofessional, pitted employee against employee and incredibly stupid. Just a money grab by nitwits. As we fix all of this let’s at least do it with some quality.
