With springtime finally springing upon us, I gathered a few of my favorite recent reads about seeing the world from a different perspective: From photo-blogger Kim at Thinking Through My Lens, some absolutely gorgeous images of weeds. That's right, weeds: Homage to Weeds. From Demilked, artist Etienne Lavie imagines a more artful world: This is what cities would look like with paintings instead of ads. From Betsy at Eco-Novice, via The Green Phone Booth: How to be an Environmentalist without being a Total Downer. Through Betsy's post above, I found this really smart piece at Grist: Want everyone else to buy into environmentalism? Never say "Earth." From the always-delightful Alicia at Posie Gets Cozy, a post about the flowery, fluttery spring in Portland after a long, hard winter: Petal Flurry. Have a re-energizing weekend! ***************************************************************************************************************** Did you enjoy this post?
