I can’t stop thinking about the Afghan girls Robotic team knows as Afghan Dreamers. The girls with minimal resources were able to design and build low cost ventilators and their expertise were used during Covid crisis.

It's a snowy day in Seattle, so I chose this shot for Day 20 of #ArtAdventCalendar! ❄️

I actually took this a few years ago from a park near my home, but I'm sure if I walked up there today it would be a very similar scene! The snow is really piling up out there right now.☃️

Hope everyone has a lovely day! 😊
