My Life Photography

I love catching life in it's natural environment; the moments missed.

This wasp nest inspired piece took several months; mostly just couldn’t find the motivation. It’s comprised of deconstructed toilet paper rolls that were cut into strips are re-glued into the hexagon shapes, then I used acrylics to paint them and the canvas. The combs are adhered to the canvas with Elmer’s glue. #multimediaart #recycledart #reducereuserecycle #toiletpaperroll #madewithtoiletpaperrolls #repurposedtoiletpaperroll #waspnest #3dcanvas #inspiredbynature #acrylicpainting #landscapecanvas #mlpbycaley #thingsicreate (at Vernon, British Columbia)

This is what happens when I shoot with my iPhone; This almost became my most expensive photo; I was taking a picture of the inside of a living, hollow tree, when I dropped my #iphone6s into it!! After 30 min of trying to grab it by hand (or with sticks), LOTS of ugly crying and trying to dig the tree out of the snow looking for another hole, I conceited and bought a grabby tool and went back; got it in 2 tries with the grabby tool 😊 #insideofatree #dogparkshenanigans #droppedmyphoneinatree #photographerlife #shitthathappensonlytoaphotographer #placesivedroppedmyphone #placesivelostmyphone #lostmyphone #naturephotography #thisiswhatmentalillnesslookslike #thisismylife #livingwithcptsd #livingwithmentalillness #cptsd #cptsdwarrior #cptsdsurvivor #cptsdrecovery #cptsdawareness #okanaganphotographer (at Bx Dog Park)

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” - Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass. #lewiscarroll #winterquotes #winterscene #winterscape #northokanagan #route97 #explorebc #exploreokanagan #bxcreek #snowkissedtrees #snowkissed #iphone6s #mlpbycaley #landscapephotography #winter #okanaganlife #okanaganwinter (at Bx Dog Park)

“The habit of a midwinter festivity had come by the dawn of history (and probably very long before) to seem a natural one to the British, and not one to be eradicated by changes of political or religious fashion. ... It was general custom in pagan Europe to decorate spaces with greenery and flowers for festivals, attested wherever records have survived.” - Ronald Hutton #ronaldhutton #stationsofthesun #imbolc #imbolc2018 #midwinter #february #tourismvernon #okanaganlife #coldstreambc #tourismcoldstream #explorebc #exploreokanagan #okanaganexplorers #nofilter #iphone6s #mlpbycaley (at Coldstream, British Columbia)

“The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.” - Gary Zukav #garyzukav #winterquotes #wintersolstice #runningwater #greenmoss #winterscape #macrophotography #tourismvernon #okanaganexplorers #exploreokanagan #explorebc #iphone6s #mlpbycaley #macro (at Vernon, British Columbia)
