pre-abbey road

this photograph is just so intriguing to me.. and of course you're all aware of my love for the beatles. this was taken just moments before the famous abbey road album cover shot. i bet they had no earthly idea how iconic this would be. notice paul has flip flops on.. i wonder when the decision to go barefoot was made? did they ever dream of the speculation that would come from that simple little detail?

oh! and a little trivia for you: did you know that it only took ten minutes and six photographs to capture the shot? crazy.. especially by today's standards!

tiny beauty

i can't stop watching this. seriously. the simplicity is just so stunning to me. and what makes it infinitely cooler? the tiny pieces of paper you're watching unfold are only about 2-3 centimeters in size. it must have taken a very steady hand to make all those minuscule cuts and folds. take a few minutes today to just get swept away by this mesmerizing video. {source}

be kind to animals week {tidbit #4}

these are a few little tidbits you may not think about as necessarily "being kind to animals" in the most obvious way, but they can do wonders in the long run.

{1} spay or neuter your pet. i don't have to tell you that there is an overpopulation epidemic.. and this is especially important if you let your pet wander around your neighborhood. 

{2} this is a tough one, because it's often too easy to look the other way when you see something going on.. report animal cruelty. that dog that you see in your neighbor's yard tied to a tree in the hot sun with no bowl of water in sight, day in and day out? that's not okay.

{3} take your fur-baby to have a thorough dental cleaning. this will help prevent major dental health issues and can also cut down on that stinky breath! if you do this at home, choose a brush with super soft bristles, and get special dog/cat toothpaste. human toothpaste can be harmful to animals' stomachs.
