Across the Country

Bioluminecence

CYNTHIA TANNER: Nature and magic are so close to one another... in my view. For instance bugs who glow in the dark?! Fireflies and fairies fly about together but kids only catch fireflies in their jars.

Bumpy Pumpkins

CYNTHIA TANNER: 'Weird and wonderful' is a phrase I like. 'Spooky' and 'scary'? ... not so much. We definitely have a fear of the unknown. But, really, some of the greatest gifts in life are surprises. And, some of the greatest beauty is unique and different.

Summer Bucket List

CYNTHIA TANNER: There is a phrase that I hate, 'Bucket List'. As if thinking about your ultimate demise will bring clarity to the things you don't want to miss out on. FOMO. That's another phrase I hate.

#71

CYNTHIA TANNER: The things we do everyday, become habit. Does that mean we can't stop doing them? Does it mean we don't think about what we're doing? Is it a bad habit or a good habit?
