If I was laying around in those flowers... I would be smiling too!

I'm not sure what the significance of this 'head' is, but find it a bit disturbing. I'm left wondering where the rest of the body is. Strange how we all see things a bit different.

So contented amongst the daisies...

Great choice for smile! It's a tranquil interior smile and I like it a lot. Nice contrast with the flowers.

enjoying the flowers with a contented smile.. somehow heads sitting on the ground are disturbing to me though, just doesn't look right :)

A very peaceful and 'at rest' smile....the statue's position nestling among the daisies on the ground is perfect! Lovely shot Mieke

I am smiling too...at the daisies that when we were children we made daisy chains with. They don't grow up here in the north & though a weed I miss them :>) Thanks for the memory Mieke !!
