      The only kind of “spreading” I’d find cute on the subway!

    The bird photo booth pictures are fantastic! The birds show so much personality! I wish I had a place to set up such a thing.

    Great bunch of links. Those Pussy cat faces! SO sad, SO on the money. And Derek is too cute to be true – be still my heart. All very uplifting.

    Such wonderful people out there: helping cats and wombats, celebrating birds and butterflies! Made me feel hopeful!
