Show me some JOY!

[Cristina]

This is the first thread of this nature that I've started so here goes!

I am in love with this picture of my son .. it just melts my heart. Let's see pictures that bring you joy. (PS - I'm usually not this sappy!)

I think you will see a lot of kid shots posted here. :) My kids bring me so much joy and love.

@sdpace - Those are awesome! I actually didn't think that this thread would be all kid pictures, but I guess you're right! I thought maybe I'd see some flowers, food, etc. Oh well, I'm always looking for kid-centric photographers to follow!

It was a joy to shoot this guy and how joyous is that face! :-)

I think it's interesting that most of the photos in this thread are those of children. Where along the way do we lose our joy?

@beckys I hope I haven't lost mine ;)
