This week's Smile on Saturday theme is "Smile and show your teeth". I admit that I didn't really know what to do for this theme but yesterday I helped my mother in her garden and there he was, the cheerful Garden Goblin (in case you ever wondered where my love for quirky things comes from, this may give you a hint...). He has only a few teeth left but four theeth are better than none. :) HSoS !
Zinnias are so common that I think they're often overlooked. They're very cheerful in appearance no matter what size or colour combination they come in. These bi-coloured beauties were found at a local park.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a terrific day and weekend!
Cheerful dog, i think stray one but had found a care taker from a friendly man. The blue in the eye totally captured my attention.

I met this very gentle soul on one of the back streets in Essouria, on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. He was sitting at the door of a makeshift shelter minding his grandchildren.
In many parts of Africa, poverty is obvious. It is astonishing that people's zest for life does not end there. It is always nice to see the joy and friendliness that people bring to you. I will never forget this hearty laughter of the children.
In vielen Teilen Afrikas ist die Armut unübersehbar. Erstaunlich, dass die Lebensfreude der Menschen damit nicht endet. Es ist immer wieder schön zu sehen, welche Freude und Freundlichkeit einem entgegen gebracht wird. Ich werde niemals dieses herzhafte Lachen der Kinder vergessen.
"Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself."
~ Henry David Thoreau
Clicked at the Athiyadam Bird Sanctuary.
Managed to capture these crocuses before the wind got up this morning. Evidently crocus means cheerfulness!
A Red-crested Cardinal perched on a picknik bench gleaning any seed-like leftovers from the people who had had lunch there.
Late afternoon. Clark Kerr Campus, UC Berkeley.
I found this of interest:
"Around 20% of all roses don’t have scent. Historically all roses had an odour, but after the introduction of almost scentless China Rose and the larger Tea Rose, both from China in the 19th-century, smell was slowly bred out from some roses."
I think it is a greater percentage that lack scent. This bush has no scent.
A cheerful foreground contradicted by the ominous atmospheric conditions lingering in the air: Northern Minnesota's vibrant summer wildflower season choked by solemnly surreal skies--gray, dismal, apocalyptic--a product of wildfires engulfing forests hundreds of miles west. Amidst it all, 40" diameter steel wheels float atop the fruits of peak flora, dancing northward on Missabe rails bound for the Iron Range's Minntac Mine behind a rather fascinating combination of motors thrown together at Proctor. This is CN train U71681 17, rushing ancient DMIR ore jennies back up the country they've grown more than accustomed to for another round of taconite pellets that the Range has been spitting out nonstop for the entirety of their existence.
Have you ever noticed how Mallards always manage to look cheerful, even on gray days? Even their quacks sound happy.
A little Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon ssp) forages happily in the grasses during a brief sunny break from the rain.
