Love seeing historical paintings of happy people.

Too often their stoic looks make us forget the humanity underlying the subjects.

Yeah yeah pictures were formal then yada yada this is nice to see. Thanks for posting.

The very definition of the word “lovebirds”.

They are very clearly not birds.

No no mate, this is the very definition of the word love birds:

Lovebirds (luhv·burdz) are a small group of parrots native to Africa. They are monogamous, meaning they mate for life. Some lovebirds are androgynous, making it difficult to tell their gender. They are stocky birds with short, blunt tail feathers. They have large beaks and rounded heads, and some have bright colors on their heads and necks.
