My friend found this smiley hiking Stone Mountain in GA the day after Thanksgiving, 2009.

Smiles on the Beach.

More smiles – just really see and you’ll see them:)

While on vacation in NYC, we visited the American Museum of Natural History. My daughter noticed our smiley on the ground in the Northwest Coast Indians gallery!  We read about you and your project in the Orinda, CA paper last spring. I was so taken by your story about the spilled soda smiley that I can’t help but smile every time I think about it. Random happiness is spread so easily! Our family laughed looking through all the pictures on your site and Katie was thrilled when she spotted this one on vacation. On our way to school the other day she remembered it and asked me to upload it.

I like this one its just a random shot I took the other day….loves it……WALL-E….where are u 🙂

Is there a category for cyclops smileys?

My son noticed this while eating dinner; he faces the hanging fruit & veggie basket.

My son took this one. He’s a dedicated Smile Captain!

Found these holes in the dry grass during my son’s crosscountry practice in the hills.

My son unwrapped his new nerf gun darts and brought me the wrapper to show me smiley!

Shopping for a 1 year old — they are so happy!

Thanks. I’ve seen Smileys all my life. And Frownies and Edvard Munch Screamies.  In peeling paint, wood grain, door handles etc. Ruth, thank you for having the vision, energy and creativity to pull all of us anthropomorphics together under the Smiley banner! I was standing outside the restrooms at Samuel P. Taylor State Park while my daughter used the facilities. I looked down and there was a Smiley.

Another mood-booster found at my workplace; this portable chain looked happy to be off duty for a while.

I love pine trees, their bending branches & pine cones make the tree look like it’s smiling!

I found this sneaky smiley hanging upside down over Fort Point on the Presidio!

This smiley was basking in the late November sun on the pier at Crissy Field on the Presidio.

Walking out to Fort Point this little smiley was licking up the sea water on the ground.  I had so much fun looking around for Smiley’s yesterday, but that Lick one was definitely my favorite. Thanks for starting such an uplifting trend. It is truly addictive.
