weeks in Pictures

As you know every few months I go onto MSNs "Week in Pictures" to see some of the amazing shots taken around the world. Here are a few of the ones that really caught my eye!

This picture reminds me of all the southern gal blogs I read!

Kiss seen around the world
Scott Jones and Alex Thomas kiss during a riot in Vancouver, Canada, on June 15. Riots broke out in the city after their hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks, lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. This photo went viral on the web, but Jones later told "Today" show's Matt Lauer that rather than giving his girlfriend a passionate kiss, he was just trying to calm her down. “It was pretty scary for her, and it seemed like the right thing to do,” said Jones.

This shot breaks my heart, and humbles me at the same time... We can only do so much in the face of nature
