My interest in photography has been growing recently, and I finally decided to purchase a DSLR of my own. I wanted to get a reasonable mid-range camera, and ended up going with the Canon EOS Rebel T7i.

The strawberry's popularity is pretty much unrivaled. I can't say I particularly love to eat them, but they do have a unique appearance. I do like strawberry flavoured sweets though-- especially hard candies

Not to overshare, but I am in a rather good mood today. I had this fantastic sundried tomato, feta, and pesto quiche for lunch, with a cup of hot oolong tea. The quiche was incredibly good, even though

It has been raining for days here. There is still a chill in the air, but the crocuses and snowdrops have bravely sprung up from beneath the soil and put their delicate petals out. Other flowers, like

Special thanks to @manofmiracles for the pictured quote. I have handwritten it on an index card and now keep it on my desk for a little extra motivation. I intended to post this much earlier, but because

Succulent planters are very pretty, but can take up a lot of space. I arranged this miniature succulent planter in a flowerpot small enough to fit in the palm of your hand! It's a charming little piece

It's probably safe to say that the owl is my favourite animal. The great horned owl, in particular, is one of the most iconic of these birds. The two little tufts of feathers on its head are so cute, it's

I'm hosting a small giveaway to show my appreciation for the Steemit community! Calligraphic lettering has become a popular look for typography. I've just started learning how to write in this style of

A belated happy new year to everyone here on Steemit. I was away on a trip for the past two weeks, and only just returned home yesterday. I'd like to share a few thoughts and some pen and pencil sketches

This is a simple origami butterfly model that I folded. The interesting thing about this model is that the body of the butterfly is white, while the wings are coloured. This is because the paper I folded

I'd like to offer a few of my thoughts on the current state of the market. The above photograph is of an Impatiens cultivar with pinkish white flowers and red-veined leaves. I took this photo back in the

I really do like the peregrine falcon a lot, so I decided to do a bit of pencil sketching to see how well I could capture this handsome bird on paper. It was intended to be a little bit of artistic exercise,

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp just came out a few days ago, and I don't think I've put down my phone since. I've been a fan of this series since the first game came out for the Gamecube in 2002. Although

Sometimes life can be sweet and wonderful, like parfait. And when it's not... well, I like to have something sweet as a reminder that things will get better again, eventually. A small cafe in the center

Hot, buttered dinner rolls go great with a turkey dinner. Especially when they're fresh from the oven! A lot of people might not want to load up on too many carbs these days, but I think it's okay to enjoy

Make a folded rose from maple leaves! In this step-by-step picture-based tutorial, I will show you how to fold a rose from fresh maple leaves. The leaves I used here were from a Japanese Maple, which is

Last summer, I went to visit a family friend who owns this gorgeous property many miles outside of the city. I was just going through my old photos from this year when I came across some of the ones I

I am reluctant to keep plants in cups or mugs because of drainage issues. In this case, however, I've planted the succulent in a small plastic container, and then placed it on top of a bed of pebbles inside

Here's another origami model I folded. This model is from the 12th volume of the Origami Tanteidan Convention Magazine. It's a pelican! These birds are so strange, yet somehow, I find them to be quite
