I took this in June of 2008… the photo doesn’t do it justice but I just had to snap a pic of the smile staring back at me from the drain in my sink bowl. Who knew I’d ever be able to share it in a forum like this?

Hotel Los Gatos, Los Gatos, CA – In our hotel room – I couldn’t help but notice the artwork surrounding the fireplace and the mantle made it look like a smiley face with a moustache.

I’m pretty sure this was intentional, but when I drove up behind this truck on Castro Valley Blvd. I just had to take a cellphone picture.

My husband noticed these eggs and the bowl curvature made a smile.  I didn’t even see it, I was so intent on making banana bread.

I work at KALW, a public radio station in San Francisco, and as we were cleaning out a storage room today, we found an old reel-to-reel tape player.  My co-worker Laura instantly saw the smile on this player’s face!

Found my Smiley in a sweet red bell pepper I was chopping.  Bell Peppers R cute!

I was getting ready to wash this potato before baking it when I noticed it’s smile.  I thought it was very cute… but ate it anyway!

This Smiley appeared and grinned at me in a frying pan full of soon-to-be-scrambled eggs. Looks a bit like a raccoon, or maybe a meerkat.

This was the chair I was sitting on, on the december 31st just before going out to celebrate!

My family and I were camping on Catalina Island off the coast of CA when we found this cactus in the botanical gardens there. My brother took the picture.
