Sending out a little “Instahappy” from my Instagram account.
Cousins playing bouncy house basketball
Summer raindrops
Donuts!
By the way, my hub’s t-shirt says, I know the muffin man. You know, the one who lives on Drury Lane?
Farmer’s Market tomatoes (for after donut cleansing)
Something cuddly.
Actually, I don’t know what kind of caterpillar this is, so I probably wouldn’t suggest getting too close.
Blue heron waiting patiently for dinner at the James River.
I was surprised at how close she (he?) let me get.
Guess I’ve got street cred now.
Duck snack rush at Byrd Park.
Getting eats in the animal world sure doesn’t look as easy as walking up to the donut truck.
Drawing time.
I’d totally get excited over a colored pencil/Sharpie truck!
Sending love and hugs.
What makes you smile? And is it something that can be sold in a truck?
Wishing you a peaceful weekend.

Thanks for giving us all “Something that Makes us Smile!” I needed it. It also makes me introspective about my own blog. How can I make my readers smile?

Love the pencil photo and the blue heron. I would totally stop at a school supply/art supply truck!

I’m trying to imagine what would happen if a school/art supply truck came rumbling down my street every day? Hmmm. Probably would get expensive. 🙂

Your photos make me smile! Some things that make me smile do come in a truck (Mountain Dew, new Camaros); others don’t (rainbows, children’s laughter, my husband’s stinky jokes). Thanks for sharing these as always!

For a second my brain couldn’t understand the Camaro truck, but then ding ding, I got it. Monday brain… 🙂

Wonderful photos as always, Coleen! And hmm… ice cream makes me smile and that comes in a truck! And books make me smile I they sometimes come in a mobile 🙂 But sipping coffee with my husband while we watch the morning come up or taking the dogs for a ramble on the mountain make me smile with no trucks required 🙂

Ah, sipping coffee with the hub sounds very nice. 🙂

You always have such fun posts. They make me smile. I wish I could draw. Well, I can draw, but nobody recognizes what I draw. I have to call it modern free form art because it doesn’t really look like anything.
But, I love colored pens and pretty paper. And I love your drawings, so keep them coming.
