Today’s happiness is brought to you by a fragrant batch of fresh strawberries that Peter picked up while grocery shopping this afternoon. I’m looking forward to enjoying a bowl tonight and then some more tomorrow in my breakfast yogurt – so the happiness will linger!

Now, on to the first half(ish) of my September Photo A Day Challenge pics.
I’ve been sharing my photos on Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and the FMS Photo A Day group on Facebook, but thought I’d also periodically do a round-up of my photos here on Alphabet Salad for the benefit of my readers who aren’t active on any of these platforms.
Hope you enjoy!
(Clicking on any of the photos below will take you to my Flickr account… and, depending on your browser, hovering over them will give you – in some cases – an explanation as to how I interpreted the prompt.)

What made you happy today?
Please share!

A poetry site could go a full month, just using the pictures you shared here.
Come to thing about it, I once wrote a poem about a teddy bear.
I had forgotten all about that. 🙂

Interesting idea – maybe I should use them as blog prompts some day!

Those strawberries looked great! Your post was refreshing , each picture told a story. The best kind for me, it was sort of open-ending, leaving it wide open for the reader. Thanks for sharing!

Laurel, I loved so many of your depictions of the words through your photos…hard to keep track now. However, I was curious about “I don’t like” re the ‘mouse’ and leaves. What was that about? 😉 <3

LOL, that one’s a little obscure if you don’t read the “hover over” text! My mouse is on its way out and so its behaviour is rather temperamental – I don’t like how it only works sometimes. But I got a new one today, so it’s all good!

Hey Laurel
OMG!!! I can stare at your ‘paradise of color and creativity’ all day long! #HUGSSSS
Can I steal some strawberries from your bowl of happiness? 😉
Much love

I am sorry. What else was there in the post, after that picture of strawberries? All I recall is that picture, blanking out and then wiping my drool off my keyboard 😉

I follow along with the monthly photo challenges on the Fat Mum Slim blog – I don’t think I could come up with them myself, at least not consistently, so having the challenge prompts is really helpful (and also fun!).
