I had been dreaming of a perfect Christmas and finding that sparkling magical feeling again for years. In my mind, it would start with hot chocolate + pancakes in the morning while “We wish you a Merry Christmas” joyfully fills the air, just like when...
When getting ready for winter here up north, anything and everything is a great reason to create and celebrate. Halloween or Samhain marks the end of the harvest season (I've just cut the last bits of mint to dry), and the start of the dark...
"Would you mind looking after a dog?" my friend texted, and I could barely temper my excitement, especially after learning that it would be a young Border Collie who would visit me. I absolutely love having dog guests, only my dogs (especially Oona) don't match with...

Do you also love all the little details about your dog(s)? I certainly do and I can't resist sneaking up to them and capture it all. The texture of their wet noses is probably my favourite! Or the marks of their fur! With most lenses,...
