The word Alchemy points me to the notion of finding beauty in the ordinary and mundane. It is how I photograph - I strive to find the extraordinary, sometimes in unlikely places. In a recent workshop, I learned that my purpose and passion is to play and explore whatever is wonderful and authentic in this life journey, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same. Through this blog, I invite you to come along as I play and explore in my Wonderland!

Perfect
Tonight, hubby and I are hosting our friend, Cathy, who's come to visit us from her romantic and fairytale-like village of Clayburn. She came with a bouquet of vibrant tulips in her arms... and they are the perfect hostess gift!
I read somewhere on a website that because they are not too elegant, nor too romantic, too big, nor too small, too plain, nor too bright; the tulip is always just right. They are like a favourite pair of jeans or mom's fresh-baked cookies in that the messages that tulips convey are ones of genuine coziness and comfort... in all of the right ways.
Thanks, Cathy!

Tulips are also the essence of spring, to me. They peak up out of the ground before I ever expect them to. This photo brings to my mind the words: fresh, cheery and spring.
