this week’s [talking pictures] comes from jonathan lo of the wonderful blog, happy mundane. jonathan is an art director/editor of j3 productions, living in Orange County, California and has been writing his blog for a long time now — he’s definitely one of the innovators and one of the first blogs i ever started reading and got inspired by. Happy Mundane is all about finding beauty in the everyday things, like Jonathan likes to say “There’s beauty in your dishsoap”. His story is a pretty happy one, too, and a very nice reminder to always see the simple beauty all around you. Take a look.

here’s what jonathan as to say about his [talking pictures]: “About this time last year, I adopted my dog Pepé. Aside from completely changing my life, he’s also given me a chance to appreciate — the ground? Taking him on his daily walks has forced me to look at things from his perspective. So I took a few snaps from a recent outing. Living in suburban Southern California, we don’t really get the whole “changing colors of the season” thing, but I have been noticing certain colors calling out to me. On this particular day, I was really attracted to these random little pops of yellow along the sidewalk. I guess it could be the “sunny side of the street”. As Victoria always inspires me to remember, it’s all in how you see it!”
