Heart Melt: Zoo Miami’s New Baby Giraffe
Look who just made his first appearance yesterday at Zoo Miami! My heart is melting. I mean, there really isn’t much that is cuter than a frolicking baby giraffe. You can see more photos on the Zoo’s page on Facebook.
Can you really have a bad day after seeing this?

The Most Astounding Fact
If you ever question your existence — ever need reassurance of your place in the universe — just watch this video.
In it, astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson answers a question he was asked during an interview with TIME magazine: “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?”
His answer is nothing short of exquisite.
“So that when I look up at the night sky, and I know that yes we are part of this universe. We are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us…
There’s a level of connectivity. That’s really what you want in life. You want to feel connected. You want to feel relevant, wanna feel like you’re a participant… That is precisely what we are, just by being alive.”

the story of wynwood walls
Here in South Florida, art is a pretty big deal. There’s a neighborhood in Miami, known as Wynwood-Edgewater, which has transformed into MIA’s major art district. (It’s actually two neighborhoods, sometimes collectively termed as Midtown.) It’s proof positive that art and business can exist harmoniously and that art, especially public art, can change a community.
HERE COMES THE NEIGHBORHOOD, a docuseries exploring the power of public art and innovation in communities, is basing it’s pilot season around the Arts District of Wynwood. Watch the video above for a great look into how one of Wynwood’s public art spaces came to be.
To learn more about the walls, visit the Wynwood Walls website.

Ok, so I’ve been SUPER busy, totally neglecting this blog. I didn’t have a post planned this week at all, but this morning I got an e-mail from Darcy Prendergast of Oh Wow Yeah with a new light painting video. Now, you all know how much I love light painting, so I couldn’t resist sharing it.
