(1a) Dutch bike designer Sjoerd Smit of VANMOOF. This is just pure unadulterated bike pron.
(2) ‘Fringe’ Series Finale: A Final Farewell – I’ll never look at a white tulip the same way again. What a fantastic ending. Now I have to find and photograph a white Playmobil tulip as a tribute.
(3) I love this painting by Andrea Mortson. ‘You Are Loved’ is featured in the Oh, Canada exhibit at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA).

“And, in the isolation of the sky,
At evening, casual flocks of pigeons make
Ambiguous undulations as they sink,
Downward to darkness, on extended wings.”
