Do you know where Gloomy Woodpeckers come from? Well, let’s join
Probably many of you have been wondering - where did the Gloomy Woodpeckers actually come from? Well, deep in the basement of the city, still in the ancient districts, techno-larvae invaded and local residents took eggs from them for scrambled eggs.
As soon as Moloch units managed to get to the larvae queens, Moloch's dark scientists modified the DNA, and the scrambled eggs grew into a Gloomy Woodpecker that sowed scare in the City.

Do you want to see where
We start the journey at Panorama ridge which is a fairly well known location in BC for its astounding beauty.
For context, here is an image from a summer trek at 02:00 to catch sunrise on the ridge.Reflecting on this trip it made me realize there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Not every summit attempt is successful- and that is okay. There is still beauty and fun to be had.

Well, read this amazing piece and you might be surprised to discover how everyday people are managing to stay above the negative and focus on getting better and growing with their children.
When I was 11, I remember falling in love with a boy in my class: exuberant, curious and energetic. I remember his magic and his struggle to fit into the confined boxes, created by the unrealistic expectations of institutions, academics and cold hard judgement of those who were meant to be there to guide and care for us.
Instead of climbing walls with hyperactivity, we became the forgotten girls. The dim girls. The girls in the corner. The nerds. The weirdos. In the shadows. Alone yet safe in our disassociation.

Are you ready for a family adventure with amazing stories and photos? Explore Utah with talented
I am the vacation planner in our family. I have always wanted to explore Utah, especially the national parks. After some research, I found that the best way to do that was to rent a fully loaded sprinter camper van.
Next up was Canyonlands. On a whim, I drove to this overlook which I had never heard of before. Imagine my surprise when I first saw this the winding river in this massive canyon. It was an incredible sight to see for the first time.

Ending today’s showcase with the talented and majestic
Today's post is a continuation of yesterday's, where I decided to share with you a nightmare I had during my teen years. It's probably the most personal post I've ever written, and it shows in the lack of comments it got, I think.
Even though it was about 4:30 in the afternoon, the sky was darkening with a translucent reddish hue. Suddenly, as I gazed absentmindedly at the garden, wondering about the whereabouts of the rest of my family, I saw a gigantic black figure looming over me through the glass, and I feared I would never speak to you again.
