Gayla’s work as a photographer is informed by both her passion for gardening and the natural world and her childhood experiences growing up in Southern Ontario. At its heart, her work is expressive and evocative of emotions tied to locations and the nuances of human presence. Many of the photos she creates serve as self-portraits – reflections of her filtered by a sense of shared history.

It's just after 6pm and here I am once again waiting for ANOTHER bus. This time I'm headed north east to give a workshop on seed-starting. I'm in a hurry and am busy the second I walk into the venue so I've got to end my picture day here. The workshop goes until about 9:30pm and I get home at around 11pm. It's been another long day.]]> photo Sun, 13 May 2007 06:24:31 -0700 http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+12.jpg.html http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+12.jpg.html
Returning from my appointment, milling about with anxious fellow passengers at the Dufferin Bus Stop supposedly the busiest line in Toronto and certainly the worst from my experience! It has deservedly earned the nickname The Sufferin' Bus.]]> photo Sun, 13 May 2007 06:24:29 -0700 http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+11.jpg.html http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+11.jpg.html

Photographing plants is one of the best parts of my job. This is Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) one of my favourite native woodland plants.]]> photo Sun, 13 May 2007 06:24:26 -0700 http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+09.jpg.html http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+09.jpg.html

After a few hours of computer work our neighbour Craig, an illustrator and animator joins us outside for a coffee break.]]> photo Sun, 13 May 2007 06:24:24 -0700 http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+05.jpg.html http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+05.jpg.html
Gardening is officially a part of my job now -- I no longer have to relegate getting my hands dirty to after work hours. The weather is finally warm enough to plant peas. This is a dwarf variety called 'Tom Thumb' that I am about to plant in an old flour canister. The pre-soaked peas get a quick bath in inoculate, a good bacteria called Rhizobium that helps increase the harvest.]]> photo Sun, 13 May 2007 06:24:23 -0700 http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+04.jpg.html http://mydayinphotos.com/Gayla+Trail/Gayla+Trail+-+04.jpg.html
Our eaves were recently replaced. The workmen left goopy calking traces on surfaces all over the deck. Davin shows me a lucha figure draped by a sticky scarf.]]> photo Sun, 13 May 2007 06:24:22 -0700
