Hi Reader,If you've been wondering where I've been all this time, last month I went for my regular walk with my seniors. Mind you, they all walk a lot faster than me and are usually waiting for me to catch up as I tend to straggle since I take so many photos.We were almost back to the parking lot when I took a hard fall on a steep hill and got my legs knocked out from under me. I went airborne and hit the ground in what probably looked like a cartoon fall and then slid down the mountain a...

Hi Reader,Happy Solstice!I can't believe summer is officially in the rearview. Although the temperatures are still warm, I'm noticing that first chill in the air along with the evenings which get darker a little earlier every day. (Sad!)As the Nature Vault sale continues, I'm looking back at one of my favorite collections ever created, and offering a treat that's never seen the light of day before. Ever!It all started with the creation of the Modern Blooms Collection, which was created for...

Hi Reader,Hope your transition into September has been a smooth one so far! Not sure about you, but September is the month which comes with the most mixed feelings for me. The excitement of a new season. Back to school. Back to work. New projects and adventures.But also, summer ending. Time with family drastically reduced. There's a pang of sadness. And in some cases, devastation if you're like my son who doesn't love the idea of heading back to school. 😆 Starting today, I’m officially...

Hi Reader,It's been awhile since I wrote you but I took an impromptu trip to Alberta to visit the outlaws. They decided to book us a last minute flight and didn't give us much notice so there wasn't much time to do anything except pack. I didn't even have time to sleep. I just passed out on the couch for a few hours here and there and kept working. Of course I tried to put together some automated emails because I had two bundles that closed which I wanted to follow up on. I had them all ready...

Hi Reader,Today was the first walk I've had down at the beach for quite some time. If you've been with me for awhile, you know sharing photos of my walks is my thing. I haven't been doing that as often as of late as my four-month bout with pneumonia earlier this year made it really hard to get back on the horse, as they say. It's a bit like exercise. Once you stop, it's really hard to start again. It felt really good to get out for that long. The weather was perfect. Not too hot or cold. Plus...

Hi Reader,Ever kicked yourself for not buying something and letting that magical item get away?As much as I regret a ton of things I've bought and never used, there are very few things I've begged off that I've given a second thought to. But there are a few I've walked away from that I deeply regret. Some of them I'm still haunted by.Case and point. Nantes, Frances. July, 2014. We were in town for three days to shoot a story on giant mechanical puppets for Discovery Channel. (If you ever have...
