I will start with 'Sweet Love', this adorable little puppy always warms my heart, I hope it will warm yours also!! 'Sweet Love' was
sitting on the lap of a disabled lady (weelchair). The lady was nice and she was happy and excited to let me photograph her puppy.
'Sweet Love' was very calm and adorable. My kiddies were so happy to see 'Sweet Love', it was a very joyful and memorable moment
for all of us!!

I like this thread a lot! And, thanks to everyone for sharing so many wonderful reasons to make us smile :)

This is a series of an adorable little yorkie I saw and not only did he make me smile, but literally laugh out loud. I ordered the images the way I shot them. He didn't see me, then he did, then he tried to get out from under the rails when I talked "baby talk" to him.

Often times I don't care for zoos, but this little guy had too much on his mind to care.
He talked with his family, then when his family didn't agree he argued with his family. When he reached the point of exasperation he went to a little hill and shouted at his family from afar. They shouted back...I don't know what they said but it probably included some Prairie Dog swearing.
He found a nice, fresh piece of his favorite green stuff and just smelled it..I think it made him have happy thoughts.

The amazing relationship between a mischievous boy and his adoring dog; these best friends and co-conspirators share a unique bond and a stolen treat.

I didn't exactly rat my brother out, but somehow mom always figured out what happened to the Girl Scout cookies. The adorable toddler is caught-in-the-act of feeding cookies to Sandy, the field Cocker Spaniel, who is totally oblivious to any problem mom might have. This one is for any big sisters out there that had adorable little brothers (that were always getting away with murder).

The dog in the picture is a Field Cocker Spaniel, named Sandy. The shoe of course is "Buster Brown's". This is a recreation of the original piece that I did on a shoe box lid. ;)

This crane was going through all kinds of displays, jumping about, spreading his wings, but the crane in the foreground remained unimpressed. It occurred to me that men might often go through this kind of thing for women...

butterfly on my finger photograph by peggy collins

I became ridiculously attached to this butterfly...not only was it the first butterfly of the season, but it seemed to take a liking to me (or maybe it was just the salt on my hand). I came back from a long hike to find it inching its way along my tire rim, probably licking the salt away. I finally picked it up and it fluttered in my hand for a fair while, probing me with its probiscus. Then it flew away and returned to my tire. This happened over and over again. BTW, it's called a Mourning Cloak, and it's often the first butterfly of the season. In England it's called a Camberwell Beauty. These butterflies live about 11-12 months, which is one of the longest lifespans for a butterfly.

Here's a very short video of the butterfly in my hand. The video's a little jumpy because I was holding my camera and 100-400 lens up with one hand ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zofq98jNAA&list=UUWfG_m0IWSwWZJTky_7Jhqw

I enjoyed the video Butterfuly On My Finger how cool is that, thanks for the history about that particular butterfly, very interesting.

Sweet Moments, your image Happy Little Angel is so funny to look at, you captured the right expression makes you smile and laugh out loud.

Shasta, sticks are mine the expression on that dogs face, funny.


Everyone's photo brings you a smile or two.

This makes me smile every time I look at it. I was photographing a sleeping gorilla at the zoo, and when he woke up, he rolled over, scratched his armpit and had a giant yawn. He was so adorable :)

coyote pups playing photograph by peggy collins

This den of baby coyotes was in a thicket of blackberry bushes behind a fence that bordered a rarely-used parking lot for visitors at a seniors' apartment building. The pups were little devils...they played constantly, like dog puppies would, but with a lot more biting involved.

Here's a short video of them...
