‘Love Birds’: The Pitch Flickr Pool Pic of the Week

If a childhood shaped by Sweet Valley High books and the opening scene of “Grease” has taught me one thing, it’s that summer is meant for flings. With the fall months fast approaching, it’s time to hold your lover close before layers of wool and knits come between you.

Even animals are known to get in some couple time before the cold descends, as this picture of two birds caught mid-necking shows. Pitch Flickr pool member Joey A. Dominguez took this picture last summer while visiting the Kansas City Zoo.
