Love Thursday Featured Fotographer: Jenty

 The Kiss -- Jenty

I've mentioned before how much I love images of dads with their kids, and so Father's Day is one of my favourite days to people watch.    For some reason, however, this Father's Day I read more than one blog post lamenting less-than-perfect relationships the authors  had with their dads, and so for this Love Thursday, I decided that I was going to find an image of a father showing unbridaled love.

Luckily, I didn't have to go far:  the lovely Jenty posted the image above in the Shutter Sisters Flickr pool.  I love how she captured a completely unguarded moment of this dad planting a big passionate one on his son.   And, happily for all of us, Jenty has a photoblog -- so if you'd like to see daily pictures of her life in her homeland of South Africa, be sure to check it out.  Thanks for letting me share your art, Jenty!

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Please be sure to leave your links to your images of love in the comments below. And may you have a completely unguarded moment of someone planting a big passionate one on you today!

My girl gets a lift from her daddy while patiently waiting to get inside the Metrodome in Minneapolis for her first pro football game.

This is an older post of mine but I think it fits in great for Love Thursday today. Liam loves his "daddy" and it makes my heart glad as we are going through the steps now to make Spencer his legal dad.

Dear Shutter Sisters

Although my hubby works at home during the day, he is busy beavering away in his workshop. He gigs in the evening so we dont see enough of him.. However i can be sure that if one of the kids gets hurt or there is more than the usual amount of yelling, a little voice will echo down the stairs "is everything ok down there?"

If grazed knees need a kiss or warring factions need to be mediated, he is the calm smiling face that deals with it all. Mummy is usually too irritated or knee deep in something mucky in the kitchen to provide a suitable alternative!

Here is a snapshot of my husband with his favourite (oops cant say that!) poorly daughter.

Have a lovely day

People deserve good life and <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/mortgage-loans">mortgage loans</a> or short term loan would make it better. Because people's freedom is grounded on money.
