I've been a bit of a preachy bummer this morning, so I'm going to mix things up a little.

Here's "Happy Women Holding Bananas : A Thread" (1/10)

---

We start with my favorite "Woman with a Banana" image. This one never fails to cheer me up. I wonder what she's thinking?

(2/10)

This woman is very happy to be holding a very fresh, perfectly ripe banana. The elegance of this shot is further enhanced by the perfect, unblemished skin of both the woman & the banana.

This intelligent looking young woman seems to be eager to eat her banana. She clearly values the rich bounty of potassium & niacin that bananas have to offer.

Okay, now that's just DIRTY. We all know what this WHORE is thinking. Best to just move along.

Now this is better. This woman clearly treats her bananas with the reverence they are due. Even holding several bananas in her hands at once, she maintains both poise & dignity. Beautiful.

There's a very Italian feel to this one... Her laughing eyes seem to yell "Mangia! Mangia!", which means "Eat! Eat!". Whilst her banana hoarding is a bit greedy, the casualness is offset by her clear joy in getting as many healthy bananas into herself as possible.

The banana is blue.

THE... BANANA... IS... BLUE.

*THE* *GYOD* *DEEEYAUM* *BANANA* *IS* *BLUE!!!*

Admit it... We've all been there. You have a big, long, gorgeous banana in each hand, and you can't decide WHICH one to eat first.

Decisions, decisions.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

I hope that this thread instills in you at least some measure of the joy that witnessing women enjoying bananas brings me.

Keep smiling.

There's beauty in the world, & someone out there who wants to enjoy it with you.
