I feel that this photo captures a bit of the whimsy that I hope I give off to others. It also showcases my favorite pants! Hooray!

I definitely would struggle without the convenience of water on tap! Having to drink exclusively from plastic water bottles would be miserable (not to mention terrible for the environment!).

This photo catches my cat red-handed in the act of stealing my chair (greed). He’s also very chubby because he steals his sister’s food sometimes (gluttony), and just look at how sleepy he is (sloth)! What a diabolical little guy.

This photo captures a vibrant holiday display from a local gift shop. Even in greyscale, one can clearly tell that this scene is full of life, color, and holiday spirit.

A family tradition that I have treasured since early childhood is the baking and decorating of holiday cookies.

The statue above has been in my downtown area for as long as I can remember. It’s been a constant in my environment no matter how much time passes. When I passed by it recently, I noticed that a spider web had sprouted between the fairy’s back and her wings– as if she hadn’t taken […]

This is a photo of a room my family and I visited in the Winchester Mystery House. I felt that the darkness and overwhelming presence of shadow in this image reflected the “mysterious” nature of the home. The room feels almost sinister, and certainly unwelcoming.
