Simply beautiful. I found myself smiling at each capture.
It’s interesting to me that our closest relative, Chimpanzees, don’t really smile the same as humans. I wonder how our emotions differ and resemble Chimps’. But, humans do show their emotions in ways that we all share. Thanks for this happy post. We all need it. 💙

very beautiful photo and pretty smile!😀
Such natural joy! Very beautiful photos.
Their happy faces preparing for the wedding warm my heart. I wish the bride happiness. The Miao girl’s bright smile is full of life. The elderly woman’s wrinkles, like tree rings, seem gentle and charming. And that fairy-like smile! Their smiles made me smile.
Such a wonderful collection of Joy, Kieron!! ❤️
Love this💛
You have captured some genuine smiles✨
Great photos of such beautiful smiles. Couldn't help myself - I smiled too when I looked at the photos. 😃
Their laughter made me smile. It's contagious! 😊
They look ike my joyous cousins !!! Ha😂💖
We can use more smiles in our lives these days, thank you for sharing.
🥰
All so beautiful
Joy needs no other language besides a smile.
Laughter is also excellent for health! Love that toothless grin. Great shots, Kieron!
Where to begin? The delight/laughter of those 3: ☔️Poor You! That older woman’s found too many sweets!😂 Given a chance I’d❤️to wear either the bride’s regular navy blue outfit or the dark&red attire in other😊pic Stunning clothing in pic4 & that’s for everyday?😳😃 All show the universality of Mirth🥰👏
it is also a pause of thinking allowing a moment to pass
Glad to see some happy people! And their smiles are infectious too - I found myself smiling even though they’re not anywhere near me. Once you know how to smile, you don’t need another human around - a silly thought is enough!
