Whenever I travel, I’m always on the hunt for quirky finds. I’m thrilled to put them to good use this week for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge (LAPC), themed This Made Me Smile. This week’s challenge is hosted by Ann-Christine, making it the perfect opportunity to share the little things that bring joy.
I’m not sure what these are made of, but they make an adorable window display.
These look like dancing legs—but where’s the torso?
Tiny smiling mice… and they brought a smile to my face too.
So cute. I think this is made out of cork.
“Please look after this bear. Thank you.” Awwww
Tim captured our photo, and now, looking back at it, I can’t help but smile.
And who are these climbing on the brick wall?
And finally, last weekend, I saw these kids because my sister in law was baby sitting. Lucy with her cute face painting, Remy with his adorable smile, and Marion with her big eyed sweet, innocent expression. These kids may not be quirky, but they still brought a big smile to my face.
I’m sure the ghosts could find a home in my daughter’s house, but I’d have the cork set.
Haha glad you liked them.
These are all so fun to see! I like seeing strange and odd things, too. 🙂
Thanks. Glad we have the same interests.
All this quirkiness is such fun. And your final images are very sweet.
Thanks Margaret. Don’t see much of the little ones so it is fun to watch them do their thing.
It’s the same for me. Distance can be a pain sometimes, can’t it?
Oh yes, for sure!
Your discoveries are always fun finds Teresa
Oh thanks for your kind words. That is me, Brian.
Lovely smiles this week Teresa. Love the little ghosts and the climbers especially
I thought I replied to this already but anyway… thanks for liking my climbers and the ghosts. You just gotta look up and in to discover cool things.
You’ve found some creative situations that have smile written all over them Teresa. The wall climbers are certainly unique and children always instigate smiles. Well done!
The wall climbers are a great find I agree. And the kids were a mixture of smiles and covering the ears when they cried loudly.
Love the one of you and hubby, amusing finds Teresa 😊
Sometimes we get crazy when we’re traveling haha Thanks for the comment Ali.
Wonderful finds, especially the one from Lisbon. But also the cone ghosts in your lead photo
Glad I found them and happy that you liked these choices, I.J.
These definitely bring smiles, Teresa!
Thanks so much Nes, glad I was able to do that.
Yikes…this is the 3rd try. WP is really acting up.
I remember the mice in Porto! Great captures, Teresa and many smiles.
Oh yes, sometimes WP do play up. But I saw your previous comment, it went to pending so I just removed it. But your first one, who knows where it went haha.But thanks Patti for giving it a try three times. And thanks for your wonderful comment.
You really found some great smiles to share – thank you! You and your husband take the prize!
Gee thanks haha doing crazy things make all the traveling worth while.
Great finds and captures, Teresa. Big smiles for you and your husband, lovely photo.
Thanks Sofia.
