Snapshots from a walking photo shoot with a friend. What’s going on in your everyday world lately?

Lots of travel lately! This was my first trip to Vashon, but certainly not my last. The bus was already on the ferry, and I hopped on and made my way to the center of town. Lovely to just stroll around.

So many small, interesting details!

Good News Network was created “to provide a ‘Daily Dose of News to Enthuse.’ The Good News Network is a clearinghouse for the gathering and dissemination of positive news stories from around the globe. Daily stories will confirm what we already believe — that good news itself is not in short supply; the advertising of it is.”

Founder Geri Weis-Corbley has kept the site thriving for 11 years, and its current readership falls second only to its popularity during the aftermath of 9/11.

We need good news. Regularly. In the midst of difficult times, we want to know there is hope, light, help, and connection. Here’s one place to find it.

Someone left this rooster statue on the back of a car near my office.

This seemed random, and highly amusing.

I absolutely love that it has a red ribbon tied around its neck, as if to say, “Surprise! Here’s a rooster, just for you!”
