Links to Enjoy #26

Here are just a few links I thought were interesting, amazing, or just fun.  I hope you enjoy at least one of them.

These paper mushrooms made by Ann Wood (of WoodLucker) are amazing.  But don't confuse that Ann Wood with Ann Wood Homemade who uses fabric to make amazing mushrooms.

Here's a free way to improve grainy photos.  I haven't tried it but when I begin scanning old family history photos again, I'll see if it can improve some of them.  If you try it, I'd love to hear what you think of the results.

Petrichor is a word I read occasionally, forget what it means, then have to look up each time I see it. 
Petrichor is the fragrance many people smell when rain falls on dry earth.  I love the smell of rain!  I wanted to post a video but none of them are accompanied by scents!  I'm posting about petrichor because Lisa Waud created an installation in a historic Detroit warehouse which she named "petrichor."  She covered the ground floor of a warehouse with sod.  I imagine it would have been a delight to visit.  I understand that not everyone can smell petrichor and some people can smell it even before the rain starts.  I'm one of the latter and love the fragrance.  What about you?  Do you smell petrichor?

Will personalized cancer vaccines become a permanent cure for those who receive them?  Trials are in progress. If successful, this is totally exciting to me!
