Here are the personal photography collections of many of the subjects interviewed for this week's Sunday Lifestyle section:

Dave Rogge's Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tgtsfkncld/

Rogge maintains the North Tonawanda group, which has garnered more than 100 photos of the Lumber City. His own shots show his interest in all things NT, from Canal Fest to Webster Street-scapes.

Victoria Bush's Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/victoriabush/

Bush took the shot of the puffer fish used in this week's Sunday Lifestyle section, and was invited by Rogge to add it to the North Tonawanda group. Hailing from Monroeville, Penn., Bush said she often travels with a fish-loving friend to Toastmaster events, and so stops by aquariums across the Northeast.

MJ Worthington's Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/underneatheverything/

MJ has been honing his photography chops ever since he joined the Buffalo Hike Club -- through Yahoo! Groups -- and noticed a fellow hiker with "a very nice camera." One and a half years later, he shoots with his own digital single lens reflex camera, or DSLR, and has learned a myriad of ways to tone and correct his work, which he credits entirely to fellow Flickr users.

Kevin Pletcher's Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kango/

Pletcher finds different angles on sights in and around Western New York, taking everyday scenes like the Grand Island bridges and casting new frames on them.

James Stewart's Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alphageek//

A Lexington, Ky. resident whose picture Sunny Side Up won a coveted "front page" space on Flickr. His pictures from his Niagara Falls trip show a similar flair.

Leadership Chronicles: Remembering to love Canada
I was at the penny candy counter when I first fell in love with Canada.
I was nine, choosing candy in a little store at Waverly Beach, down the road from the cottage my mom and my aunts had rented for the summer.
I stood there like little kids do, asking for five wax lips, some licorice, a bunch of those candy dots on paper strips — enough to share with all my cousins — and one of those toffee bars in the red box you can only buy over there. After carefully spending my whole dollar I handed over my American money and the clerk gave me 35 cents back.
Oh, Canada, that’s how you first won my heart.
