You Gotta Put Your Behind In Your Past
My wish is not for the reinvigoration of one specific style. What I seek is a return to simpler times when clothing was made by an individual, rather than purchased from a fast-fashion site or big brand store. A time when each article of clothing was unique and made with love.

Is it a Bald Eagle?
Recently while on my layover in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I took a walk around the lovely little downtown. I didn't have enough time to go skiing, tubing, or anything wintry. I couldn't really sightsee either, as we had arrived late the night before and getting up early was out of the question. Touring the town was as close to "when in Rome" as my schedule would permit, and outside I ventured with a positive attitude that I was able to at least do that.

A Love Letter to our Mother
She is so exhausted - has been trying SO HARD to keep going, keep supplying, hoping we will wake up and step up for Her. I was buying potatoes when I began to cry. Just suddenly…. tears began to leak. I held this fruit of Hers in my hand and I felt Her heart - She has given all that She can, shown us where She needs us to wake up and grow up, and we have ignored Her.

Facts About Desert
Deserts are places that have little water and do not rain together for nearly months and sometimes even once a year. Therefore, they are the driest place on Earth. But for the animals that live here, it is difficult for them to live for long periods of time without water, especially during the summer. So they find their own alternative ways to beat such difficult conditions of the environment.

Ecological Footprint
Ecological Footprint or better known as Carbon Footprint is the quantity of carbon dioxide or other things with carbon in them that someone produces. We all produce Carbon Footprints. When you have a Carbon Footprint, you’d usually think that you alone couldn’t change the world and you would die without a trace or hurting the atmosphere. But if everyone has a carbon footprint and there are around 7.8 billion people in this world, then that would hurt the atmosphere a lot. Especially when a lot of people in one area. Take China for example. That is perhaps the most populated nation on the planet. Envisioned how everybody gets around the place. Individuals use vehicles, bikes, thus significantly more ways of transportation. All of those things are producing some sort of Carbon. And that’s not good. Everyday things can hurt the environment. Petroleum derivatives are the primary driver of ozone-harming substances. Electricity in your home and at school or work creates a carbon footprint.

Boycott Green Washing. Third Place in Wave Makers Challenge.
“Oh, look at the cute little ducklings they are rescuing from oil spills. They really do care about the planet.” Have you ever had this thought while considering what dish soap to purchase? I hate to say it, but if you have, you are a victim of greenwashing. Greenwashing is how corporate entities make themselves look good at a glance, creating a positive public persona in order to sell more products. In this article, I am going to share a few companies to consider boycotting for the health of our oceans and our planet—and you, the consumer of those products.

Capturing Innocence
I took this photo when I was ten, next to the pond in the back garden. There’s really not much of a story to it, at least not that I can remember. It’s been a while since I was ten. My family had just moved to a new home in the countryside of the Ards peninsula, Northern Ireland. It was a new build, so the house and garden were still barren, but the wild surrounding us was as rich as it had been for millennia. And that suited me. Minibeests twitched and twisted in the undergrowth, hares gambolled in the fields, songbirds chirped in the trees and the occasional heron flapped overhead. And at night, we saw bats and badgers. There’s no feeling like glimpsing a badger trundling through your neighbourhood.
