Happiness is….

The photo challenge #22 from Ann-Christine at the Lens-Artists: Happiness is…

So many things to explore with happiness is.

Among other things, I get great pleasure from nature. Happiness is sitting down and watching the world drift past, from the big to the small. Hope this post can bring a bit of happiness into your day.

A Blue-banded Bee scrunching into a Blue Ginger flower always makes me smile

Having the Caper White Butterflies come into my garden on their migration is lovely

The Black Jezabel is usually high in the canopy and when they come down for a visit I smile

  2. So much happiness in one post! Wonderful shots in this gallery – and I am the same as you…happiness is tightly connected to nature. Those butterflies and the variety of birds would have been wonderful to live close to. Thank you for sharing with us!
