The problem with coming out of a depressive stage, or trying to, is not knowing how to reach back out and how to apologize for disappearing into yourself. This is all new to me and I’m hating it.

We have a little squirrel living in our tree. It’s always so thrilling to see them running around or, in this case, enjoying an early lunch. #squirrel #nature #photography #yeg

My favourite picture I’ve ever taken of my old girl, Mystique. It’s a little blurry, but the comedic value of this picture is priceless. She looks slightly confused, as if she’s unsure how to take a selfie photo. #art #ArtAdventCalendar #cats #caturday
Extreme close up photo of a tortoiseshell cat face. Picture is slightly blurry, focusing on the pink cat nose and her green eyes. Her mouth is black lined against her cream and tan chin and cheek area. She looks slightly confused, as if she’s unsure how to take a selfie photo.

My favourite picture I took while on a tour on a business trip in November. Take on the San Andreas fault line, and showing directions (in miles) to different places. #art#ArtAdventCalendar #photography #SanAndreas
Photo of an old sign pole in the middle of the desert. Photo was taken standing on the San Andreas fault line and depicts how many miles it is to certain destinations. Canada is 1614 miles away from the San Andreas fault while Mexico was only 90 miles away. Sign pole is very tall and is casting a shadow to the left across the desert. In the background are sandy hills and blue skies.
