true valentines

This photograph has spared you my annual diatribe on the artificiality of what Valentine's Day has become.

The day I returned to Melaque was the first day of an ocean paddle board contest.  I stopped to take photographs of the contest -- and to gather facts for a story.

What I got was the perfect photograph for Valentine's Day.  A father's love for his son.

And a mother's love for both.

May you have a Valentine's Day just as special.
