There is good and bad in each of us, but it creates a unique and beautiful mixture.
Timid beauty
Tenderness fills us.
Currency II
A moment ago, I submitted a photo entitled Currency I. This is Currency II, shot the same day and within three minutes of the previous photo. It again reflect the value of community and friendship – more telling in the wake of Covid. The ocean in the background plays a metaphoric role in the title […]
Currency I
This photo was taken in Nice, France as Covid international impact was just beginning to wane (we had to be tested to return to the States the next day). This photo continues to speak to me on many levels – the power and need for connection, the capacity for relationship to endure hard times, and […]
Faith
During these times, I think some people are losing faith while others are seeking to find a new source of faith. Many lie in between. While taken a few years ago, I think this photo fits in with this narrative. Where is our faith, how do we cultivate it, is it rooted in the concrete […]
Somewhere….
This saw this woman while taking a walk on the beach. Regardless of one’s political, religious, spiritual sensibilities, how can one not be moved by this image. It’s almost as if she is holding on to the desert but looking out to the sea – the present and the future. Of course, I am creating […]
When Life Imitates Art
This is a photo of a clematis flower that quite by chance looks to me like an origami crane – a symbol of peace in Japanese culture. Even the petals are almost translucent like origami paper. I live right outside Washington DC and thought what an amazing message. There is a backstory to this photo […]
After the Fires II
Similar to my previous submission, this photo was also taken in Waterton National Park in Canada. It again represents the sustainability of nature even in the wake of damage.
After the Fires 1
This photo was taken in Wateron National Park in Canada. For me, it reflect the “bounty” that is possible after devastation – flowers after fire. What isn’t obvious in this photo necessarily is that I shot it while dodging lightning and raindrops after a nine-hour hike. To behold beauty and witness its potential demise in […]
Carbon Footprint Reduction
In this striking image of a commercial building, adorned with numerous air conditioning units and planned gardens spanning three different floors, we witness an innovative approach to mitigating the environmental impact of modern infrastructure. The abundance of air conditioning units suggests a response to climatic challenges, while the incorporation of planned gardens on multiple floors […]

La esperanza en el desierto / Hope in the desert
Basta un día de lluvia para que estas flores emerjan de la arena del desierto de Baja California Sur, la esperanza nunca muere en la semilla, solo espera esas pocas horas de gotas de agua abandonar la espera y salir a mirar el sol. / A rainy day is enough for these flowers to emerge […]
La Sal en su estado colorido, como la vida / Salt in its colourful state, like life
El viento y el sol haciendo su trabajo evaporando el agua para hacer resurgir los cristales de sal. Una conexión de elementos naturales para sacar a la luz el oro blanco. Así nuestra vida, en donde somos Inter-ser con una multitud de elementos, como dice en uno de sus poemas Tich Nath Hanh. / The […]
“ Out of the Mud, Light “
“Out of the mud, a promise awakens. One petal at a time, renewal blossoms — calm, certain, and filled with light.”
Nature & Nurture
My fourteen year old daughter rides horses. When she got very sick this year, she says that horses saved her life. She fought her way back from an eating disorder, self harm, depression, and anxiety because she wanted to get back to this barn – C Stars, this horse – Lilly, and her coach – […]

Out
Walking out of a familiar but dark place, into the light of the unknown. Meant to represent the struggle of change and renewal.
Roots and wings
A father and his son share a quiet moment of happiness under a shower of cherry blossoms. The father’s watchful eyes and the child’s curious play capture the pure, unfiltered joy of being present—where love is as abundant as the falling petals.
Rain follows the storm, renewal follows change
The rainbow is a bridge between what was and what will be. The village lies still beneath the sky, as if to remind us: even the most familiar things can be transformed in the light of a new day. Water evaporates, colors blend, and life goes on. All that remains for us is to look […]
Whispers of Renewal
“The snow still covers the earth, but the sun already hints at change. Each new sunrise is a promise of renewal.”
Tranquility
Me and beautiful beach
“Traces of Pain, Wave of Forgiveness”
I photographed these footprints in the sand because I too have left my marks where I once felt invisible. My steps are the voice of my childhood, a voice that feared it might disappear. Each indentation is a wound, each footprint a scar, yet the sand still receives them, and the wave still comes to […]
Love on the Twig

Motherhood
Shot was taken at Mysuru, Karnataka, India.
Motherhood
Sunbird parental care involves both parents in rearing the chicks, though the female is primarily responsible for nest building, incubation, and brooding, while the male assists with feeding and nest defense. Both parents may also provide protection for the young, even after they leave the nest.
Be Yourself — Renew
When I saw this with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it. It was so beautiful and mesmerizing that I just stood there for a few minutes, watching in silence before taking the photo. Many thoughts ran through my mind, but one stayed with me: These artificial mushrooms stand out so strongly in the natural […]
In our Filth
An old man cleaning up wastes from Kapila river, Nanjanagudu in Karnataka. “Elderly local residents remember a time when this water ran crystal clear before the casual tourists and Hindu devotees left behind their litter, including plastic bottles, discarded clothes, and deities in the site.”

Had a blast coming 5th overall (I reckon there was a mistake lol). But we had a great time with my work and new found friends lol. We also won the second race woohoo. Was lovely to have so many of my family there it meant the world to see them cheer me on.
When Parallel Lines Do Intersect
In a world governed by order and logic, parallel lines are never meant to meet. Yet sometimes – through the lens of a camera – we capture the impossible, a fleeting moment where boundaries blur, perspective shift and opposites find harmony. A rainbow, arching across the sky, is nature’s gentle rebellion against rigidity. It symbolizes […]

Strangers 1 min, bestie the next
I met Amani whist I was waiting for my train to Manchester Airport to go to Belfast. We clicked instantly over random stuff (mostly being poor lol). It’s funny how you can have so much in common with a stranger. We must have talked for a good 2-3hrs and had conversations with 2 other girls. […]

Belfast with mum

Solo date in manc
22nd of May I had a solo date in manc whilst I waited for a train to the airport. I sunbathed outside the station, went to the arndale for a mooch and grabbed a free Krispy Kreme donut and watched people play the cube game. Loved it
