Gan Xingfu (chasing happiness) 赶兴福

This November I am chasing happiness by photographing and sharing one lovely thing I see each day. I do edit the photos, often with an artistic effect like the one above, because playing with a lovely thing makes me happy.

Note: My son checked with his co-workers and, while they haven’t heard the phrase gan xingfu, they thought it was just fine to use.

For more explanation about this project check out this post: Whatsoever is lovely…day 1.

Squirrel peeking down from among the cherry blossoms.
Bright eyes and a bushy tail in the bright pink cherry blossoms.

The bright spot of Ginger’s day yesterday was espying a squirrel in the blossoms.

Ginger likes to keep an eye on the little rascal in the tree.

It looked like it had snowed cherry blossoms…hard to believe there are any left in the tree.

Bright idea

In Cee’s Flower of the Day post she told about “Pink Day”. I’d never heard of it, but it seems like a really bright idea: a day for standing up to bullies. Here is the Wikipedia description of it:

The International Day of Pink is an international anti-bullying event held annually during the second week of April.[1] The event started when students David Shepherd and Travis Price saw another student, who was wearing a pink shirt, being bullied in their Central Kings Rural High School in Nova Scotia, Canada, and deciding to show support for the student by getting everyone at their school to wear pink the following day.
The initiative inspired youth at Jer’s Vision who founded The International Day of Pink, an effort to support their peers internationally with resources and ways to make their schools safer.

So, in honor of the International Day of Pink, here is a bright pink rhodie, hit by a bright sunbeam.

I walk the same route most mornings with the dogs. This lets me keep an eye on progress. This pale pink peony bush has been on my mind of late. today’s sunshine brought it out all the way.
