She/Her Mother to a deeply thoughtful son, daughter to folks I love sharing time with, partner to my best friend, living in a multi-gen household by the Salish Sea.
I teach commercial law, gov't relations, and negotiation skills to BBA students. I will post on legal decisions that catch my attention and practical info about the Canadian legal system.
I am happy in the woods or on the water with my mini-Aussie Mitzi, photographing the tiny things - I will share them here!

Eid Mubarak to all!
Eid isn't a new holiday to North America. African Muslims arrived as early as 1503, many among them shrewd scholars. Up to 30% of enslaved Africans were Muslim & maintained their Islamic practices. Eid has been celebrated here longer than the USA has existed.❤️
Have yet to build the mount for the kaleidoscope to attach securely to my cell phone camera lens, but I started to experiment with video anyway.
Unfortunately, I can not spin the kaleidoscope, but panning creates some enthralling shifts in the pattern this sword fern generates.

I took the kaleidoscope along camping last week and enjoyed creating these intricate images of a salmon berry bush in bloom and sword ferns.

Chat GPT is great. If you are a teacher with writer’s block you can ask for something like “End of year comment for student who needs to have more confidence in their work and who asks good questions” and it will spit out *paragraphs* of the most bland, corporate, superlative content-free, schlock you’ve ever seen. This will make you so angry that you’ll remember how to write.
It’s all “actionable” this and “out of the box” that … omg just poke both my eyes out right now.
I've been creating a lot of cat art lately. Especially cats with flowers. So here's another one, with a little simulated stained glass sparkle to liven it up.

The persistent tinnitus in both my ears is significantly louder this morning, which results in reduced ability to hear overall. Not knowing how long it will last or if it will get worse is the most challenging part to manage. Last fall, I was effectively deaf for 4 months and managed through it, but it was exhausting. I don't feel ready for another round. I feel sad and frustrated.
When you’re an infernal demon eternally stoking the fires of the pit, but you also like pretty dresses.
