Default The picture that makes you laugh

Recently this community has gone through some very heart breaking moments. The struggle of Natalie Norton and her family was felt by all of us. Elizabeth Halford's article Shoot to Live also very much tugged at our hearts. I found great inspiration in both of these situations. The strength of these women, and the support shown them truly speaks of the wonderful human spirit's ability for compassion and love.

With all of the hope, love, and strength that has been shown lately, there have also been many tears. There is no cure for sadness like laughter. Even after a tragic event, it only takes one or two good chuckles to allow you to start feeling better again. So I would like to see that one or two photographs that just make you laugh everytime you look at them. It doesn't matter if it is composed right, or if the lighting is bad, or if there is too much noise in the background. If it makes you laugh, then share it with the rest of us. A little bit of laughter and fun goes a long way! Please add you "laughter shot" to this thread and lets spread some good feelings around!

My first image is of a little boy at the beach who somehow ended up with his head in the sand. Don't ask me how it happened. I just turned around, saw him, and quickly snapped the shot

The other photo is my profile icon. My dog loves to chase around and lick empty peanut butter jars. This was snapped right after she finished licking one clean

By the way Elizabeth, if you happen to stumble across this thread, the black and white picture of Grace has got to be the most beautiful image I've ever seen in my life.

She is an American Bulldog. Her name is Bailey. She has a bionic leg, she sheds like there is no tomorrow, and has eaten more than her fair share of door frames and remote controls in her life. But we love her to death! She is really sweet.

Unfortunately the elastic in their trousers was not as strong as their will to succeed.

Thank you for this wonderful idea. My heart goes out to the members who are going through tough times.

They say laughter is the best medicine so I hope this helps.
