Above the Philtrum

5+2 is hosting a challenge "Under Your Nose" @summerfield edified me yesterday about the name for the vertical channel between the nose and lips. It is the philtrum,hence, the title for my photo today in which you see what is under the nose. Please just ignore all the wrinkles you see.
You could also tag this for the September words since it's your lovely smile!

Thank goodness there's no snot! Although that would have qualified for an s-word, too.

Yes, it was new to me too, that word Philtrum. What wrinkles?! Where?!

I immediately thought “Smile! September!” “Philtrum” just doesn’t have that lyrical sound when you say it. 😊 Great photo of your smile, oh wait, your philtrum. 😊

We miss so many smiles under masks 😷

@lesip so true! They still come automatically though! I was posing with my family recently with masks on and we all smiled anyway!

now, this, i know i left a comment. but then i know what my problem was, i'd leave the page before thinking i'd clicked on the "post comment" thingie. so pardon the old person.

with almost everyone wearing a mask, how i know someone is smiling is through their eyes. a genuine smile reaches the eyes always.

and see when you smile, the philtrum disappears!

@summerfield no worries! I am guilty of doing the same thing across all my electronica platforms! When I check to see why someone hasn’t texted me back I notice it’s because I didn’t hit send to start with!

I have noticed the same thing about masks and the lack of ease In detecting smiles. You are right though, it is easy to see in the eyes.

I also noticed that about the philtrum in this photo. I was wondering why it didn’t show up very well and you have explained it nicely.
