Simplicity Photography Challenge... What makes you smile? And Texture Thursday

 

What makes me smile?

Autumn makes me smile - a lot.

As do my friends,

my cats (can also cause me to be immensely vexed)

David (ditto the above)

stars, 

snow, 

frosty mornings,

really good dark chocolate,

poetry, 

Bach,

Vaughan Williams,

and

photography.
