It started on the way to work. I noticed a beautiful bicycle, old and rustic, leaning on the side of a house built in the 1800s. I was enthralled... my only regret not having a camera with me.

So I returned the next day to take a picture. On the days that followed, instead of rushing to work, I took a deep breath and enjoyed my surroundings. I started seeing all the little things I'd missed on my morning commute... "How could I have missed all this beauty? I've been walking this same path for years!"

I made a promise to myself -- to appreciate what I have, to appreciate what is around me. To see the hidden charm in the seemingly ordinary. I was moved to look... and moved to share. "Charm Patrol" was born.
