When a fortune cookie
and a photo challenge cross paths, the results can be extraordinary,
like
the sites of San Francisco made from 100,000 toothpicks
or
works of art hiding behind spring bouquets
Have an extraordinary week!
Life is an adventure - from camping in the Arctic to hunting for errant single socks to navigating the world of writing.
