A few days ago I got a call from my mom, one I have been expecting and afraid of for the past few years. Chester, my 14 year old Wheaten Terrier, is not doing well. As she was telling me this through quiet sobs, I told myself “you have been expecting this. You knew this…
When playing with dogs, I get so tickled when they “hide” behind a piece of furniture or a glass door and act as if you cannot see them hunched over, ready to bolt any second. I had the opportunity to photograph an adorable Border Collie named Peyton a few months ago and he just cracked…
I haven’t seen a Praying Mantis in probably 10 years, until yesterday. I never realized how amazing their eyes are, they were so beady and judging. I’m not going to lie, I felt like I was in Men In Black and had just discovered a miniature alien. Such a bizarre creature, however any animal that…
Panning for gold. Always an opportunity to strike it rich, right?
FINALLY my Asian Literature course ended about 2 weeks ago. I don’t know how I did it but I managed to get an A in the course. Okay an A- if Isaac is reading this. He always makes sure to throw in “It was an A MINUS!!!”, ass. 😉 So last week I started “Great…
Warning: Photos may be upsetting to some. Not for weak-stomached individuals! For this week’s photo challenge, my fiance’s job came to mind.

Through somebody’s lost life,…
Isaac and I have a dilemma on our hands. I Can’t stop sleepwalking into his room and waking him up every single night. I also can’t stop laughing as I’m writing this. What in the world?! It’s like in the past two weeks my subconscious has tapped into the fact that I am not confined…
To me, the words “comfort” and “family” are interchangeable. I am fortunate, I realize. For many, the word family creates feelings of anger, frustration, hurt, and uneasiness. When I saw that “comfort” was the weekly photo challenge, instantly pictures of my sisters came to mind. My family is my comfort no matter the reason, time,…
A co-worker of mine who has a daughter with eczema/allergies like mine often refers to me as a “litmus test for quality.” She is incredibly encouraging and will say things like “you’re not too sensitive, you are not weird, you are a test for true quality in this world. If you react to something, it…
No better place for sunset pictures than the FL Keys… The next three were taken by Isaac outside his house. Just amazing.
