California Redwoods + Steinbeck + Happy Links

{"The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a visionthat stays with you always." // John Steinbeck}

Happy Links:

• I love this list of ways to "get local" while traveling. Anything you would add?
• Patti Murphy and her sister Kat are launching a collaborative art show and they're accepting submissions from all over the world. I'm thinking about submitting something. Anyone else creating a fun, inspiring banner to submit?
• Do you all follow the Flickr blog? They call for contributions to a themed collection every week. This last week the theme was "London Calling" and now I want to go. Like, now.

Wrap it Up:

• I shared a little north coast goodness (including a little glimpse of California's magnificent redwoods) on Monday. More to come, I promise!
• Mighty Girl Maggie Mason and her life list got me all inspired and I finally posted my Mighty {fine} Life List on Wednesday. I hope you'll share links to your lists as well.

Have a lovely weekend, all!
