I am so full of love right now, it is welling up in my eyes and threatening to spill out in the form of tears. Big fat tears full of love. Why? Because I have just laid eyes on some amazing photographs that depict love. National Geographic has an online photo community called Your Shot, where members are given a theme and asked to submit photographs that represent that theme. It comes as no surprise that the assignment for February would be to sumbit a "Love Snap," but the challenge is to go beyond the conventional, the expected amd the images that have been shared are so beautiful it is ridiculous. They make me feel overflowing with love. You've got to check them out because they show you what love looks like.

Here are some of my favorite "Love Snap" images, you can check out the rest at the Your Shot community, where there are over 5,000 thus far. It's a good thing to bookmark for those days when you are feeling like there just isn't enough love in the world.

Wedding
Of course you think of love when you think of weddings, but this picture isn't your typical weddig pic. I love how the bride is looking right at the camera like she knows exactly what she is getting into.
