Lens-Artists #349 – The first thing I thought of hosted by Tina is fun and gives us a reason to smile once or twice a least. Maybe even more 😀
As Egidio expressed in his Serenity challenge last week, the current state of the world led him to invite us to share some peace and calm with our images. This week Tina thought perhaps some humor might also be in order and I agree with her – it is.
I must admit that initially, I found myself at a loss for photos for this challenge. I don’t have anything funny, and those I have are slightly on the naughty side, and I have no wish to offend anyone. 🙂 One would have been a photo of a very dirty truck that someone had written on in Finnish (another little hiccup for many). I wish my woman’s was as dirty as this truck. Not to everyone’s taste. Still here it is 🙂
As you might have already read in Tina’s post, we are excited to have Beth of Wandering Dawgs joining the Lens-Artists team. She is a long-time participant and will be a great addition to our team. We very much look forward to having her on board and the new vibes and inspiration she will bring us. Welcome Beth, looking forward to your first challenge.
Be sure to link your responses to Tina’s post , and to use the Lens-Artists Tag to help us find you. Anne from Show Shutter Speed will lead us next week be sure to check out her post next Saturday. Until then and keep smiling 😀

Oh yes the cat and TV is so good 😂 I did have to refrain as well not to be naughty 😏
I will need the eye bleach for the last one 😲
The cat seems to get the most smiles. and well the last one dis leave an everlasting impression.
Oh these are fun! I love the monkeys and the cat watching the football on TV 🤣 But as for that last one …!
Yes, but first thing you thought about when you saw it… was the topic . this certainly does that. The cat seems to get the most smiles.
Oh my Ritva – that cat image is priceless!! and good heavens, that closing image is beyond words! Your response had me smiling ear to ear! (and I for one loved the rude truck!)
Tina, well the first thought was the topic and I am sure there are lots of firtst thoughts about that one 😀 The cat seems to get the most smiles.
The monkeys and that cat are fun!
Great response Ritva! The cat wins. What great timing.
Animals give us joy and smiles that is for sure
You found many fun photos Ritva, especially the cat, monkey and last one. Although the last one is kind of gross!
The cat seems to get the most smiles.- Animals give us spontaneous smiles. The last one – you did have a first thought when you saw it….😂
Thanks for the smiles Ritva! 😀
Um eww 🤢 Key West partially nude with a gold butt plug ??
well, it does create lots of first thoughts – and a lasting impression
I loved the two beach bums! And the cat is hilarious. Great images, Ritva.
Thanks. The cat seems to get the most smiles.
🤣
😂
nice baby
Thanks 🙂
Nice collection, Ritva, and great captions to go with. Love the cat photo, and that monkey who is telling you what he thinks of your photographing him.
The cat seems to get the most smiles and animals are a safe choice for smiles. Thanks john
You were able to find some good ones here.
Thanks Teresa
Priceless and very funny, Ritva.
…..and the last image, well……ouch might be my thought on that one.
Vicki, it still is the first thought 😂 Thanks
Ahhh. I too never go outside in my jammies unless I’m wearing good galoshes. Great photos and captions… uhhh… ohhh… ewwww!!! I can’t un-see that last one!. 😱😱😱
Sorry John.. cute and cross in the same post. I did well 😀
Oh heavens! What a joy these images brought me. The truck, the child, the cat, the beach bums — everything was perfect, including Key West. One cannot unsee that!
I am glad you liked so many of them. The last one is slightly controversial:-D
Great photos – love the little kid and the cat. I’m not sure what to say about the last photo 🙂
The cat seems to get the most smiles. Thanks Nora
What is that smell???…(In other words…I came for football, not flatulence!).
Love this.
Good to hear, thank you. The cat seems to get the most smiles.
Lol!😃😃
My sheer utterance for the last photo is: “Dios ko, ginoo.” Similar translation is for goodness sake.🤭
Going for the lasting impression there. That is what I thought too when I actually saw him on the beach
He’s too confident, I think.
The cat is priceless, the last one… not so much. But it’s definitely unforgettable 🙂
Sofia , The cat seems to get the most smiles that last one a lasting impression, no? 😂
