Smile in the Sky (2008 Dec 5)

Such a beautiful picture… the cosmic happy face seems to be saying “this is for you… enjoy!”

A smile can go a long way towards helping us feel at ease with one another and “long way” is an understatement for this one.

But if I stare at this APOD smile long enough… it takes on a devilish dimension… probably caused by the dark clouds, long face, smiles I have received just before... well, I won't go there... and the mention of those pesky mosquitoes in the caption… and my over-active thinking.

I save the APODs That I like and use them as backbrounds. I choose a different background each day. There are so many to choose from. :) 8)

No planets? I noticed. Seen before? Maybe. But here is another happy sunset anyway.
