Beginning the shared Discoveries with a nod to The Rose Parade

Last year I kept encountering those snapshots of things, both large and small, that made me smile. Usually I was alone or even worse, failed to acknowledge the importance of these findings in the scheme of my life.


When my friend, visited from out of town last November, we formulated this blog idea as a way to share our relevant encounters, with each other. The hardest challenge so far has been to find the one photo that sums up the moment, or as my old design professor always said "KISS" (keep it simple stupid).


This is my "aha" moment while watching the Rose Parade floats line up on New Year's Eve. A beautiful evening, wonderful friends, dramatic floats, 2010 is starting out with a BIG SMILE :)
