Perplexed as to how to photographically summarise this abstraction, I made a composite illustration of the elements which make up ‘Happy’ – flowers, guitar music and blue sky all lead up to the ‘The Joy of Being’. 1
But for the purposes of this Weekly Photo Challenge I just had to have a try with the new gallery – even though these happyifying triggers are all a little clichéd.
roses, roses all the way
holidays in Suffolk
All things Japanese
muted colours
Tai chi
snow in short sharp burst of crispness
Notes:
1. Many thanks to Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photo Art for the free texture at More Free Stuff
Interesting image…love the idea of photographing what makes us happy!
I guess flowers and gardens and poetry are somewhere near the top!
We all need reminders of what makes us happy.
we do but not always easy to pin down or remember. The blues are more impressive!
I love your composite. As to the others, nothing wrong with a little cliche, its because these things make so many of us happy that they get that status! You certainly made me smile…
thanks for that Janet – was afraid I’d strayed into Julie Andrews territory
What a lovely piece, Laura. The many components make me want to linger and en’joy’! Thank you for the link.
it was your texture that inspired the sense of happiness – thank you
happy = beautiful captures of four seasons. that’s how i interpret your photos anyway. love the snow scene!
yes happy seems to be seasons – they mean more because I live in the city and are not as overt
