From one of my trips earlier this year: This is one of the kids’ play areas at Calgary International Airport.
Go ahead, play with your food!

Today is “hump day” for most people, so this photo seemed entirely appropriate! Found this sticker in Seattle back in April.

Snapped this image a few days ago at the office, of all places. Hope this will be reunited with its owner.
