Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - What A Smile!

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor darkhairedgirl.

Titled, What a Smile! this photo was taken during Mardi Gras in Galveston. It candidly shows three sailors enjoying the days events. Darkhairedgirl expertly captures the moment and provides an explanation, here's the caption from the photo:

I had been trying to photograph this bunch for a few minutes when he turned around and just gave me the biggest, happiest grin and motioned for me to take his picture!

Maybe it's because he caught the cool bear beads? Regardless, Houstonist is glad you took the picture and shared it with us!
