Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

I wasn’t going to post this, as I’m sure most of you have seen it. But I just had to in the hope that maybe you haven’t. I simply can’t get over how cute and hilarious this is. Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp are geniuses.

Back to School

One thing I miss about being an adult is back to school shopping. How much fun was it to take your supply list to Target and load up with new binders, pens, and study accessories? Kids today are even luckier, as many stores now offer beautifully designed and fun school supplies that even an adult could love and use.

Steve McCurry

I saw this blog entry over at mymodernmet.com that features 22 incredible photos from faraway places. The photos of Steve McCurry are beyond incredible. He is best known for his photograph of the Afghan refugee girl who graced the cover of National Geographic and became their “most recognized photograph.” These three photos were my favorites posted on that blog. After looking through McCurry’s website portfolio, I wanted to post about 200 more. To avoid the agonizing task of choosing my favorites from there, I recommend you visit his site immediately and be amazed. He can truly capture the beauty of the human spirit.
