Here are a few smiles from the week.

• This sweet sentiment at the Foundry during a celebratory dinner with a few of my favorite people.

• This chubby baby bird at the park, pushing the limits of a nest where I’ve been used to seeing the mama.

• A brave iris who decided to lead the way instead of waiting for its peers to start the show.

• And of course Friday is a good reason to smile. One of my very favorites, in fact.
