    *hug* Aww come on, love is everywhere, I'm sure you can find a couple of dogs to take a pic of and not feel too left out.

    Yeah, I know it's a bit hard on the singles around, but hey, maybe you'll start noticing the little bits of love that are around you without having to be half of a couple... :wink:

    Well, this does give me a legitamet reason to take pictures of couples without them knowing.

    Rinso, you make me laugh. ::points and laughs::

    Who said 'love' has to be romantic love, anyway? It can be familial connection, profound friendship, religious ideal, devotion to a cause, or all kinds of things. And don't forget - among the many ancient Greek concepts - storge (did I spell it right, Avgi?), the love of things.

    Or, as Cat Stevens said, "I love my dog as much as I love you." He did convert to Islam, later, so perhaps developed more conventional tastes.

    We'll probably never know which animals, besides humans, experience love, but we often feel love ourselves when we see images like this:

    I wish I knew how to use and find Mom's camera, there were a pair of trumpeter swans resting maybe thirty feet from the edge of the road in a cornfield near my folks house, it is amazing to see how big they are.

    Here's mine, it's a piece of graffiti from a long subway tunnel on my way to work. There are two tunnels, that lead under the road that goes round a huge roundabout, on one side there's a lycée (school for age 15-18) and on the other side is a collège (school for ages 11-15) and in the middle of the roundabout is a bus stop. The tunnel on the lycée side is covered in what I call "hate graffiti", poltical slogans, insults, tags... The tunnel on the collège side is very colourful, and there is a lot of "love graffiti" like this. I always think of what it was like to be a young teenager and in love and wanting everyone to know while being shy about it. How many of us have doodled love statements on a corner of paper, a school desk, tree bark or walls somewhere ?
