These are really, really cool! I especially love the kiddo hanging out in the basket.
Maybe in your spanish class 100 years from now, they'll be showing a picture of you BWing.
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.
This is awesome.
I want to keep a print out in my pocket for the next time I hear someone muttering about BWing being "trendy".
K- I have around 200 pics from virtually every continent. If you want some, PM me and I'll send you my email address.
I thought this, too. Wow. I'll bet the women in Somalia 400 years ago had no idea how "hip" they were. LOL
These are super awesome!
(I'm no expert, but if you could get publishing rights/releases, I think this would make a really cool book, just an idea!)
Feel free to share more
Yes! These are rad.
1. Those pics rock my socks.
2. What are you doing with this, exactly? I'm dying to know! Our curriculum is super-light on culture (it's all about "mastery of skills" and our Admin even told us to skip culture because it's not "rigorous" enough) so I'm always looking for ways to sneak stuff in that's culturally relevant- I'm a rebel that way.
I know! I can't count how many times I've heard, "I wish they'd had those things when my children were young."
