Joy Meets Happiness


Sometimes I get so focused on taking a photograph that I only notice the little details.....sometimes I get so focused on the big picture that those details slip right past me.  That happened with this one. I wanted to catch those fun yellow gumballs.  I was concentrated on getting a shot with the least amount of glare on the glass. It was only after I got home and looked at the picture in a larger size that I noticed all the little smiley faces. It was an extra shot of happiness to my yellow joy!


I have been collecting pictures for the Yellow Joy Machine for a few months.  I read Leigh's blog where she has been conducting the Happiness Project.   I think that it is time for my Yellow Joy to meet her Happiness....

  1. What a lovely post, and Leigh's blog is just great, it makes me laugh a lot.

    Thank you for your kind words, glad that you liked it and also loved wonder woman and charlie's angels as much as I did. Welcome aboard the happiness project!

  2. I'm going to have to check out this yellow thing you've got going on. My boy's all about the yellow. And since sibling rilvary is in vogue in our house these days, that means little sister's all about the yellow too. So maybe we'll check out your yellow flikr group & make some smiley faces of our own:D
