Sunlight Smiles in Shadowy Places

It may seem dark and shadowy, but sunlight laughs just out of sight ... saying it's going to be a good day, if you let it.

The Tree That Smiled

This morning as I waited for the big yellow monster (the one that comes every weekday morning, swallows my children then spits them out again in the afternoon!), I noticed a sparkle on a tree by the road -- the sunlight glinting off a bit of sap I suppose. Despite my efforts, the sparkling drop refused to transfer to my camera. I did, however, find this adorable smiley face of shadow and tree. I think today will be a good day.
