This week, we asked our readers to take a photo of something simple that makes them smile. They delivered by sharing pictures of the little things that bring them and others joy.
From Mervyn Gibson of Charleston, “Carl’s Creme — Shakes has been bringing simple joys to the Fredericksburg, Va., community for decades. It is a favorite break spot for Mary Washington University students.”

The winner of the contest is Robert Peterson of Summerville with a photo from his fishing trip in Snake River, Idaho.
Honorable mentions go to Mervyn Gibson of Charleston, with a photo of Carl’s Creme-Shakes, and Ronald Allan Charles of Goose Creek, with a photo of a sunset in Italy’s Cinque Terre region.
Next week’s topic is “arts and crafts.” We challenge you to get creative and show off your creations that you have made by hand.
From Ronald Allan Charles of Goose Creek, “A star-like sun setting off the coast of Manarola in the Cinque Terre region of the Italian Riviera is a joy to observe.”
