Snapshot: Camera Magic
Have you seen this headlining photo on the Snapshots section of my blog website? Wondered where it was from and when I’d get to its story? Well, today’s your lucky day! We island hopped our way up the Pacific coastline of Southern Thailand, meeting… Continue Reading “Snapshot: Camera Magic”
Snapshot: Life Upon Life Upon Life
Layer upon layer upon layer upon layer of incredible plant life. That’s what I remember most from our time spent in the wonderfully atmospheric cloud forest of Santa Elena in Costa Rica. We had been to rainforests in Asia prior to this trip, and… Continue Reading “Snapshot: Life Upon Life Upon Life”
Snapshot: The Art of Bonding Over Slug Slime
What is hand sanitizer good for? Slime. Oozing, can’t-wash-it-off slime. Trust me on this one: it is the perfect antidote to an afternoon spent slug sliming yourself.
