This weeks challenge was Happiness. Unfortunately, I had a somewhat mad week and didn't really have much of a chance to focus on the topic, so I've picked out a few shots from the week that sort-of represent happiness.
(7D, Sigma 120-400OS at 400mm, 1/800s at f8, ISO 100)
The first shot was a couple of Buzzards flying over my house - it's quite heavily cropped from a 400mm lens as they were a fair distance away. They seemed to be playing around - I'm not sure if they're a mating pair, but they were ducking and diving and kept looking like they were going to crash into each other, and then they'd just glide around together before starting again.

This one is my daughter out in Pamphill, near Wimborne. We had gone to see if the bluebells had all come out in the woods there - we were about a week early, so the kids were mucking around and having a great time! Sophie found this tree trunk to sit on and wanted a picture taken (which is fairly rare as they're all pretty fed up with the camera).

And out of the woods, Ozzie (my son) was walking around (he's just starting to get the hang of it) and cracking up every time he staggered and fell over!
This is a macro shot of the heart of a Dandelion - they might be weeds, but they are colourful and quite beautiful close up. With the great bright yellow petals, I thought this was quite a "happy" picture :-)

And a bee doing what bee's do best - buzzing around in a bush trying to find something useful. I figured he might be happy...?

Finally, a capture of bath time with two messy kids - lots of splashing, giggling, general mucking around and lots and lots of smiles!
