When the Trickster Leads you Home . Honorable Mention in Through the Lens Challenge.
A hallmark child of the nineties, various phases and interests piqued my interest per year, some sticking through time more than others. There were, of course, the fads that found their way more universally among my peers: pogs, Beanie babies, Tamagotchis and Lisa Frank merch. I shared in those. Then there were the other phase obsessions that found their way to seemingly me alone, for whatever reason. One of them was wolves. Wolf posters and plushies abounded in my bedroom, howling under full moons or huddling in their dens. Another was an unslackable interest in Switzerland (and the Alps, in general). A small Swiss flag sat in the cupholder at my desk, next to Rainbow Brite magnets and Lisa Frank erasers. Exactly why the interest took hold, I will never be able to say for sure, though I have a few suppositions. There were the NOVA specials on PBS I would watch with my Dad in the evenings, showcasing breathtaking landscapes, biomes, flora and fauna across the globe, some of which featured the spanning panaroma of the Alps. There was my copy of the National Geographic Society’s book on the Alps (prepared by the Special Publications Division), with its cover showcasing the snow-peaked Matterhorn mountain in all its majesty. And there was of course the movie, The Sound of Music, with Julie Andrews. One of my fondest memories of my Mom: a summer of nights making make-shift quilted forts in the living room while we ate raspberry sorbet out of the carton and watched the timeless film.

Through The Lens
As I was walking the hills of Carmel, California I was glancing left and right to take in the sites. There are several stores and art galleries on each side of the road that I frequently enjoyed exploring. As I walked past this long walkway, I stopped dead in my tracks. Something was tugging at my curiosity to wander down the hallway and see what was there. Off I went and what a beautiful surprise awaited me just past the doorway. At initial glance the mystique and simple beauty of the walkway captured my attention. My first footstep into the hallway told me I had to stroll slowly down this path so as not to miss one bit of its beauty.

A Miraculous Moment I thought Would Never Happen. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge. Content Warning.
I still remember the exactly moment this photograph was taken, when I was able to touch my baby daughter for the first time after her birth. I couldn't stop smiling, thinking to myself, I can't believe I have a daughter.

The Haunted Yogurt of Wüd Grane
I had always regarded yogurt as a safe foodstuff—perhaps not as reliable as your standard whole milk or cheddar, but certainly more innocuous than an exotic cheese. If you eat something called a ghost pepper, you might reasonably expect something spooky to happen, but I hadn’t ever encountered a yogurt named after the grim reaper or a disembodied spirit.

Carolina On My Mind!
For someone who may not be a North Carolina native doesn’t mean that can stop me from loving this great state that has so much heart. I have been visiting North Carolina ever since I was a baby. I’ve almost everywhere in the state from the beautiful seaside towns, to the big cities throughout the state, and finally to the high majestic mountains. North Carolina has so much history and beauty and love so, who wouldn’t want to come here. There is just about everything for everyone. What I love about North Carolina is that no matter where you go in the state it feels like any day can be a fun new exciting adventure. But in Western North Carolina is where I made a lot of cherished memories.

In the Hall of Crosses
Where was my head at when I headed down to my hometown’s art gallery? It was the day after the New Year rolled in, and I was aware that I would be leaving in less than a week. I had been spending most of the time with my family and noting the frailty in my mother and stepfather, more so in my mom (she will not be stopped when her home has to be clean and meals prepared). I went over to visit relatives during the holidays, but I felt like I was looking at something from a distance. Most of the people I know are all working in the same soul-deadening spots I managed to avoid, and I cannot really explain why I see their lives as sadder and more limited now. My neighbourhood has not changed at all (perhaps there are more people buying some of the newish homes around us; perhaps more people are retired and keeping to themselves – no change there, either). I had gone for a walk on the Bruce Trail on the birth of the new year, and there were the usual friendly faces and greetings, but it felt like I was stuck in a terrible pattern that I built for myself since I first discovered that path through nature. I had less than a week left, and I wanted something unique that spoke to me, and lifted me out of the deep funk I felt seeing where I came from (it also did not hurt that the day after New Year’s Day was a free day at the gallery; you take what you can get). So, on a Thursday, I caught a bus – could not get anyone interested in heading down with me and a bus seemed to be the right method of entering the downtown core – and with a new stop that put me a little too far from my destination, I went into the brown, brutalist structure that is our municipal gallery.

Sunset Rise
It might not look like anything special, but this photo is one of my favorite pictures that I’ve ever taken. Thanks to my mother and her mindset of having a healthy outdoor life. I like to go for walks, especially when it’s a clear sunny day out. I love to put on my favorite music and just go walking for hours. One day when I was out walking one spring evening this sunset stood over. And I’m not afraid to say I thought it was a beautiful thing.

Halloween '09. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
When you look at this picture, you see a little girl with pink makeup smeared all over her face, but to me, I behold a testament to a miracle. I glimpse a fighter who never backs down. I also recognize the clown who is my youngest child. In this photo, she is twenty-eight months old and celebrating her first time trick or treating.
