Weekly Photo Challenge: LOVE / Word-A-Week Challenge: SMILE

“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.”

Nicholas Sparks

LOVE

Although I am late to the party, I couldn’t resist adding my entry in the Weekly Photo Challenge “Love”. Some of my followers have seen this shot before, as it is one of my favorites. For me, the emotion of the elephants was very clear and their affection for one another very obvious. Every time I look at this shot, it warms my heart and makes me smile. And honestly, isn’t that a really good thing?!

They, like orangutans, whales, etc., need to be better protected!
