Our favorite photos depicting things, animals, and places that make you happy.
In the Happy Place photo challenge, I asked you to share an image of a person, place, or thing that gives you energy, restores your verve, and puts a smile on your face. Over 700 entries made for difficult decision making and I loved poring over your responses. Here’s a small sample of the photos that resonated with me.
Andy Townend
Andy‘s wooden spoons made me grin. I look at these spoons and I think of the joy I get out of cooking and the pleasure of a meal shared with friends and family. Be sure to check out Andy’s site for more great photos.
Photographic Trek
As a fisherperson wannabe, I was unable to resist eldy’s photo of this fishing boat gently calling to me on the shore of Boomerang Lake in British Columbia, Canada. The motionless water and ethereal lighting has a calm, soothing effect. A regular participant in the weekly photo challenge, be sure to check out eldy’s site for more.
All Seeing Me
Photographer Denis O’Donovan captured the beautiful arcs of Pat O’Toole’s fishing line during double-handed casting practice on a river in Ireland. The line’s path — frozen in time in and space — moved me. Be sure to check out Denis’ site for more.
FOTOCREA
Anna Moskalkova puts an arresting, surreal twist on the Happy Place theme in her photo essay, “Searching For My Childhood” at FOTOCREA. The washed-out lighting makes me think of my own hazy memories of childhood. Be sure to check out more of her work.
HISTOIRES À TIROIRS
I loved Frédéric Biver‘s mid-air shot of a carousel swing rider in black and white at HISTOIRES À TIROIRS. The outstretched arm of the carousel rider reminds me of a care-free afternoon spent at the fair. Visit Frédéric’s site for more.
Our photo challenge themes change each week, though each remains open indefinitely so there’s always plenty of inspiration for your photographic creativity. Why not check out a challenge you might have missed?

As a young child, my sister and I had our suitcases packed. Our timing was of, as if we even thought of time. Must have been at least 60/yrs ago… great pic…

I love all of these photos. I especially like the one of the little girl. It makes me think of simpler times and simpler ways. That’s what we’re all searching for- a more simple life. Because, who wants complicated? The picture of the boat looks like a beautiful watercolor painting. Breathtaking.
