I've been working on a new book project over the past couple of months. I've looked at hundreds of images, all from my ski touring adventures. So with all that snow and beauty on my mind, I created a series of 5x7 greeting cards highlighting some of my favourite photographs.
How do you feel when you hear the word camp? Does your heart jump with excitement to whip out that already packed box that sits at the ready in the garage? Do you happily revisit the superb learning experience that went along with your summer camp experience? Are you happy to go, but would rather head to those permanent sites where you can cook up your own meal on a clean barbecue and lay your head in a pre-prepared cabin? Or is the idea of camping not at all your thing?

The peaceful Central American town of Antigua, Guatemala, sits beneath dormant volcanoes that overlook quaint cobblestone streets, historical Colonial churches, and brightly decorated shops. Leafy Parque Central, abundant with manicured trees and the ever present Spanish fountain, occupies the very heart of the city. With its tranquil and calming ambience, it is the ideal hamlet for Guatemalans and tourists to sit and enjoy the highlights of Antigua.

Do you know the right way to eat chocolate?
Real chocolate, not the overly waxy variety that’s common in grocery store aisles and tends to have a saccharine aftertaste.
I didn’t.
Despite years of thinking of myself as a chocolate connoisseur and doing my best to have a daily serving (or two!) of chocolate, I’d never gone to a chocolate tasting, where the intricacies of the flavor and the importance of the purity of the beans were explained in detail.

Kids know. We should have been more prepared, perhaps... with a ball gown? Full-length gloves? Sparkly shoes? But the kids in the audience at Cinderella on Tour, at Miller Auditorium at WMU last night? They were ready. We saw ball gowns of all kinds, though mostly shimmery and glittery, to be honest. We saw more tiaras than I've ever seen in one place before. And, we saw some girls rocking a punk princess look, with converses, cinderella tshirts, and skirts or jeans.
