October 2023 - Things that make you smile

[Dave]

Post your photos of things that make you smile, and tell us why they bring a smile to your face.
 
All sorts of subjects are possible. Maybe a portrait of a beloved friend, relative, or pet; a peaceful sunset; a delicate flower; raindrops or dewdrops; funny signs; animals in humorous positions; inspiring landscapes; a favorite food; and lots more.
 
I like squirrels – they are brash, sassy, and impertinent. But I sometimes wish to see some in situations that squelch their cockiness. I manipulated this scene (taken about 15 years ago) to simulate high water and befuddle this particular tree rat...

Nicely crafted image there, Dave. Tree rat. Apt.

A late  night song circle with friends...

[Man From Ironbark]

That's always a fun thing, Don.

[Dave]

Thanks MFI.

Don, not a surprising subject from you - well done.

[Man From Ironbark]

Ssh, I've got a secret.

[Dave]

Perfect.

What a precious photo!

Here's something to make you smile. Woman gives toys to magpies.

Great photo of the infant MFI!

That was a very interesting video as well, although I had to wonder about her mental health from a couple of comments she made in the video. She mentioned the magpies give her a reason to get out of bed, doesn't socialize, doesn't have friends, etc. In any event, I'm glad she found something that seems to give her purpose.

[Man From Ironbark]

Yes Don.
She clearly likes having birdbrains as friends.
