Good Morning, Paradise / Science Saving Ducklings

My heart almost exploded when I woke up to this scene this morning. I think I may possibly be the luckiest person in the world right now. I had no idea that Italy was just so incredibly beautiful (and thank you Nellie for snapping these twilight photos - not so bad for someone to whom I just said "stand there and click".) Not only is this little vineyard villa completely tranquil, it's also got kickass wifi, so I'm planning a lot of outfit shoots around this place. shirt - Sportsgirl skirt - Paper Hearts bag - Thrifted hat - Market stall in Osaka  necklace - Claire's Here's a cute science story to start off your day (or to accompany an afternoon coffee if you're in Australia). This duckling was born with a genetic deformation that caused him to have a backwards foot. The duckling had difficulties walking and was also at great risk of infections from the many injuries he sustained trying to get around. So his owners had his bad foot amputated, and replaced with a 3D-printed prosthetic (if you're new to 3D printing, I rave about it here, here and here). The duckling, now a grown-up duck, has his own facebook page and took his very first steps on his new foot just two days ago! Image Source Yay for 3D Printing! It's basically the best.
