Choosing a photo for this week was difficult. The book I'm reading right now has me in a very melancholy bittersweet mood, and I want a picture that reflects that mood. But, since my first reaction to someone hurting isn't to pull out my camera, I don't take very many sad pictures.

When I look at this I get a sense of loss and longing. I see a woman missing someone from a hundred miles away, taking comfort from a puppy who doesn't understand.
