Facing Down the Dragon
I crouch down in on Government Street in front of the Mystics of Time House, inside the baricades as the revelry of Mobile’s Mardi Gras rages on. MOTs—Mystics of Time—time is a mystery, isn’t it? For how can one moment stretch into an eternity, how we simultaneously exist in the moment and in reverie. From these decorative floats, masked riders throw beads that land on the ground, snatched by tiny, plump ready hands, while some dangle from trees, a glittery tapestry like little glowing seeds of fun and revelry.

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.

Captured in a Photo, Held in my Heart. First Place in Through the Lens Challenge.
How do you capture the love of a grandmother? It has been just over three years since my Nana passed, and this is a question that lingers in my mind, as persistent as the memories of her.

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.

My First ANZAC Day Service.
My morning started with my alarm beeping loudly at 4am. I was going to my first ANZAC Day dawn service in my remote country town in Queensland Australia. I moved here a few years ago, it's a wonderful friendly town, with old buildings beautifully preserved.

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.
