discovery wrap up

"Seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us, but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive them." -J. Henry

All month long you have been inspiring us with all the wonderful ways to interpret May's One Word, discovery.

you discovered:

little things in nature,

magic in the sky,

self discovery,

the natural curiosity of little ones,

unexpected beauty,

and so much more.

Thank you for playing along all this month.

Today I challenge you to discover one thing in your environment that makes you smile. One of my very favorite things to do is take a photo walk. I found this sweet little pirate ship in a heart at my feet on a walk in San Francisco last October. Little things like that, the unexpected, they make me so happy I carry my camera with me. So today, get on out and take a walk with your camera, iphone, polaroid, no particular destination in mind, just wander. Look up, look down, explore the world around you with new eyes.  You may be surprised at what you find. Share your discovery here with me in the comment thread and don't forget to add it to the owp pool on flickr.

Xanthe will be here tomorrow to announce the new One Word for June. I am GIDDY over it! I can't wait for her to share our new word and exciting fun we have planned here all month long!  So don't forget to come back tomorrow and see what it is!

Discoveries come in all shapes and sizes. Something unexpected coming out of the underbrush:

Photo walks....love 'em.
I used to go with my daughter, but now she's living far, far away.
Now I go with my grandson.
Photo walks...love 'em best with a partner, but also by myself.
