We've Only Just Begun

Ah! Young love -- so naive, so immature, so unsophisticated, yet ever so charming! Every generation warns the next of the heartaches and the heartbreaks that come with this love. Yet, each generation is eager to experience love. Authors have tried to express the happy occurrence we call young love.  I watched this young couple at the Getty Museum.  You could tell they were just getting to know each other, wanting to touch but not quite having the guts to try.  She, especially, was very flirty in an innocent, cute way.  I had to photograph them.  I've posted the original and then a Photoshopped version.
                  No, there's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream

A sand ball in one hand and a gun in the other, this little one was ready to conquer any sea creature that came his way.
I had a gun and I had to run and shoot, which is not easy.
