PICS OF THE WEEK is where I share creative photos and interesting finds from the web each Friday. The purpose is to share the creativity of others and give you something to do on your lunch break.  If you would like to join in please connect with me and share your best stuff.  You can add your images to my group on Flickr and share your links with me on Twitter & Facebook, or leave a comment below. Be sure to check back next Friday for a new edition.

**The featured image above was taken by Frank Guido from Staten Island NY. It is my favorite image from this past week by far. Such a great and funny little story. You can see Frank’s photo stream here.
