Love Thursday: go weak

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.

Children's laughter is one of my favorite sounds and one of the best medicines.

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. :)

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

The fabric of life
stitched together
daily
with common thread,
delicate fingers
and the finest

mine doesn't need to be tickled to squeal with delight. she is just the silliest, wildest, youngest of our bunch, and seeing his of her just makes me smile. happy love thursday all.

They are my two dearest loves.

This is not really a tickle shot, but it is a similar reaction -- laughing from pure joy! My first born love...

Happy Love Thursday!

[tangobaby]

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.

Here is mine; just one this week; also from music in the park series

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.

Just a quick snap shot of my husband when we were in Italy last month. He travels a great deal for work and is back in Europe right now. So I'm missing him right now.

I am very exciting to participate for the first time in Love Thursday. The photo you have chosen and the story behind it is wonderful! I will look for any opportunity to sink with love into someone's arms or to offer up my own :)

This is me with my new daughter. She is 11 days old in the photo. I set the controls on the camera and did the processing, but it was taken by my husband - with lots of coaching by me (thank goodness for LCD screens!).
