When planning for today’s post, I wanted to post an image that inspired. Words that moved. Thoughts that … well, made you think, I guess.
But then I took this picture of my daughter, Alex, and figured I had to share it, instead. She was being tickled mercilessly by my husband, and after shrieking and wriggling wildly, Marcus suddenly stopped tickling — and as she caught her breath, she went weak and sank into his arms.
Then I took this shot.

Happy Love Thursday, everyone. As we do every week, please leave your links to your images of love in the comments section below. And be sure to check out the warm fuzzy love caught by the opera mafia, and more tickle love by Right Moon for inspiration.
And may you go weak and sink into someone’s arms today.

Ohhh what a fun shot of the love of being tickled ๐

This is an inanimate representation of the love I found in San Francisco this summer, from old and new friends. This shot was taken on my last day in the city, just outside the hotel in Union Square. It capped off a day where several of these beautiful people showed me support like I don’t often see, especially from people I barely knew before but will never forget. It was very…yes…heartening. ๐

I glimpsed this from the passenger seat while riding through Northern California. I keep making up different stories about why it was there. What do you think?
Happy Love Thursday

tangobaby says
I knew when I took this photo that it would be perfect for Love Thursday.My beautiful baby niece just got her hands on a real camera and I think already she is excited about photography.
She is two years old.
She watched me take photos and then wouldn’t rest until she got to take her own. I see this photo as a combination of two loves: my sweet little curly haired girl and photography.

Amazing photo. The ShutterSisters are such an inspiration with the shots you are able take; it challenges me to understand how you each can take such amazing shots with your signature styles.

My first love Thursday post is about my 8-yr old, who’s got big, rippling muscles and sharp teeth, but is shy as Bambie, and loves to love more than any being I know.

When you are in not good state and have no cash to get out from that, you would have to take the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com">loan</a>. Because it would help you for sure. I get college loan every year and feel good because of this.
MccartyJeannette22 says
I received my first <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/home-loans">home loans</a> when I was 20 and that supported my business very much. However, I require the student loan as well.
