Well, we were spreading too much happiness, apparently. Killjoy @Oregonian didn't like that and took down the photos. (See thread.) Here's another shot of smiley face by Rusty Rae @newsregister

This is along Hwy 18 near my parent's house. It's cheerful as a lark, but it's mostly larch. Read more: newsregister.com/article?art…

Not the best Screen shot via gmgoogle maps. Local guy does rye grass smileys every year. Saw him planning planting yesterday.

It makes people feel better after losing all their money at the casino just west of there.

Who says you don't need a brain behind a smile? You definitely need a brain behind a smile.

Reminds me of that time @TedCruzPoodle and I were going to go pee on the greens at Trump National Golf Club (Jupiter)... right before we realized FL forgot to vax.

This reminds me of your larch tweet from a few days ago, @LE_Carmichael

A soothing message for a troubled world. Larch are still deciduous. Doug firs are not. Thank you David.

Landscape desecration. An imposition of shallow American culture erasing the spirit of the land and its salutary effect. Where's a forest fire when you need one? 🔥

Nazis did this with swastikas in the 1930s.
