A Photo a Week Challenge: Joy

Joy. What gives you pure joy? For me, it’s my kids, my husband and my dogs. Yes, they make me feel like a constant passenger on the bi-polar express but that’s not important right now.

Nancy Merrill Photography asks ‘share a photo that expresses joy.’  I LOVE THIS IDEA! And I had fun searching for one as well.

This picture is Cooper’s personality in a nutshell. A combination between pure joy and pure emotion. We are at Lake Superior throwing rocks into the big lake. Cooper’s favorite activity of all time. He was so happy and it was infectious.
