With Valentine's Day in the rear-view mirror, we suggest stocking up on 1/2-priced candy and going full goblin mode during President's Day weekend. Spring is just around the corner, and it's bringing 4/20 right along with it. We're gearing up for something very special this year...

So without further ado, we have our weekly inspiration for you to spark your afternoon daydreams.

 

Super Bloom

 

After a record-breaking winter rainfall, California is predicted to have both a breathtaking and epic super bloom. In Los Angeles and areas in Southern California, the poppies are already beginning to bloom near Lake Elsinore. Pack a lunch and take a short drive (if you live in Los Angeles). We highly recommend it.

Ontogeny

 

Ornate floral centerpieces, bouquets, and corsages inspired this video, making it visually and auditorily fascinating. Director Frederico Barni & colorist/filmmaker Alexander Lowe give you "Ontogeny - an experimental nature film."

Snack on this

 

U.K. Subway sandwich shops debuted a new menu item.

The catch? You can't eat it.

The replica foot-long sub is made of clay and measures less than one inch. The sandwich chain worked with miniature ceramic artist Nadia Michaux to commission a tiny meal with a drink, straw, paper bag, and napkins.
