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!

A Historical Beauty
On many of my walks with hubby, we pass by the Yaletown Roundhouse which houses the magnificent looking, fully restored Engine 374. It is the engine to pull the first transcontinental train from the East coast to Vancouver in 1887.
I don't really know much more about its history, but I always take a second or a third glance at it every time I pass by. I could stare at it for a while and just be in awe of how handsome and shiny it is, imagining how it might have been... way back when people rode aboard it!
