Little Happies

Don't you love those little moments in life that bring you small happinesses?  I have long loved the photos that Gail takes on her blog Louisiana Belle.  Recently she mentioned turning some of them into notecards.  I wanted to buy some, but she insisted on sending me a sampling for free.  Aren't they gorgeous? 
Pierce and I will be putting these to good use in our letter writings. Louisiana Belle really captures some amazing shots.  Especially her birds!  Thanks, Gail!

While I cannot begin to touch Louisiana Belle's photographing talents, I did recently catch a shot downtown that I really like, looking out towards the farmer's market in Roanoke.  A picture that brought me a little happy.

What about you, readers?  What small thing has brought you happiness lately?

  6. Oh, those are GREAT photos! And yours as well.

    Happy is elusive for me lately. I've been bogged down by work stuff so I have to make it a point to turn off the negative and work on positive. Thanks for the reminder this morning--I'm gonna focus on positive and happy today!

  9. Your picture is really artistic! The way the fountain is on the left, and very up front, then the long row of smaller green awnings. It also gives a sense of space, almost like 3-D. Her cards are so pretty! I am checking now to see if she is the Gail that I know.

  10. I like her pictures and your picture. :)

    I hung the kids school projects on the front door this morning. Seeing their surprised/happy looks (usually we put in on the 'fridge) made me happy. Esp. the teen who was deliberately trying to hide her happy. ;)

    I suppose my small happiness would be that I finally caught my son at home last night and got to talk to him on the phone.

  19. Gail's photography is stunning, and she's a sweet lady. Your photo is great, too. I like the row of buildings set off by the fountain--very nice. My little happy? Larry got me Kathy Reichs' newest book. :-)

  20. Such a good question; it's important to appreciate what made us happy. We drove through a charming town (Little Washington) and went to an art gallery. I even bought a framed landscape in pastels.

  25. I recently bought these scented soy sprinkles from a company called The Pink Zebra. I've put them in my car, and now my car smells like orange slices whenever I'm driving. I LOVE the smell of citrus!
