 "You must learn to enjoy life and have fun doing what you love." 

 —Lailah Gifty Akita

This raccoon mom kept trying to round up her triplets for their Saturday bath. The three had another idea—they wanted to run and play in the sunshine. (I took this picture in my backyard at the edge of the forest.)

They can remind us to take the creative life seriously (like the mom's no-nonsense attitude) but also to play with ideas and have fun.
