As an antithesis to this past week's gruesome photographs, I've curated here a selection of images that jump off the page with joy. Practical considerations had me take a hiatus from this series for a couple of months, and I have decided to re-kindle it here with a conceptual rather than time-dated approach. I hope you enjoy these joyous photographs from image platforms around the world, and that they inspire you to seek and note small evidence of joy in your daily lives during the coming week.
