The other day I managed to catch a glimpse of Wonderland. I didn't think I had dozed off, but suddenly there he was. A white rabbit just sitting there checking is pocket watch. I almost held my breath, not daring to move for fear it would all disappear before my eyes.
As we go through life we sometimes encounter unforeseen obstacles. Instances where life's path takes us in a direction we never previously anticipated. It is those moments when we hold strong to what we believe and do all we can to protect life as we know it. We shelter it, put it in a bubble and study it. Only so that we may move forward, bolder and wiser.
One of these things is not like the others. Now, at first glance I would have gone with the elephant. However, after a little closer look and a couple of not so quiet meows, I think I'm going with the fluffy white cat with the blue eyes. Yes, the big one in the middle. Okay, okay...it's a silly game we ...
I've always wondered what it would be like to fly to the moon. I kind of figured they'd end up taking passengers in the space shuttle. But with the shuttles all being retired, I guess that's no longer an option. I'll tell you one thing though, the tourism side of the space race is going to get mighty interesting, mighty ...
Australia itself is full of beauty and wonder. However taking in a sunset on North Stradbroke Island, Queensland is a truly zen-like experience. The peaceful orange glow of the setting sun coupled with the soft purple waves gliding gracefully across the sand. It's as if the waves were coming in specifically for you, to wash away all your troubles and ...
Sometimes your brain can get so overwhelmed with activity that it doesn't quite know what to do. It's what some people call getting a one track mind. A friend of mine started to get that way the other day. He couldn't concentrate. He couldn't think of anything else. After a quick trip to the doctor, we'd confirmed it. Looks like ...
In Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan there is an interesting addition to one of the local playgrounds. It's not your usual piece of play equipment. In fact it's a giant button. Nobody saw it fall, it simply appeared one day and has been sitting there ever since. It's been there so long in fact that all the kids have started playing ...
For those of you who have been there, you know that Australia has a magic all its own. But one of Australia's lesser known magical moments can be experienced outdoors at the Newcastle Fountain. Watch the fountain perform its water symphony of the night and you will all but become truly mesmerized. Lost in the dancing water and flowing lights.

For those of you who have been to Grand Central Terminal in New York you know the clock I'm talking about. It's an iconic clock that sits in the main concourse at Grand Central. It's recognized even by those who have never seen it up close. But for those who have, they know time centers around this clock. People coming ...
It's that brief moment after you place your drink order and right before it arrives. The moment where your chosen drink cascades through the air and down into the glass. A freeze frame moment if you will, where the blue liquid waits in anticipation for the point of impact. It's something often missed by the naked eye, but can be captured beautifully if you know how.
