Well he's done it again ... Jose found yet another heart!

Unfortunately, this one is not so pretty as some of the others he's posted ...

And will probably be covered up soon, along with all of the other graffiti.

(I love this staircase, though, don't you?)

To see more of Jose's gorgeous world, check out "Lisbon and the Sunny Coast".

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

Look at this gorgeous cloud heart Cloudia linked up the other day - it's one of the most perfect cloud hearts I've seen!!!

Cloudia's blog, "Comfort Spiral" is full of gorgeous photos, quotes and more - when you visit be prepared to spend a lot of time checking it out (and then you can say you visited Hawaii today!!!)

((on a personal note, Cloudia, I love your name!!! - it brings back lots of good memories from when I was in Germany and "Clytie" didn't translate well. Most of my German coworkers called me "Cloudia"!!!))

Thank you, Cloudia, for sharing your heart!

(and, for a few years, your name!)

I love finding hearts on Debbie's blog, "It's All About Purple".

Do you see the heart here?

Look at the way this adorable squirrel is holding its treat ...

Those little paws are in the shape of a heart!!!

Thank you, Debbie, for sharing your heart!

I love seeing the world through Debbie's eyes ... even when her world is covered in ice and snow!

Especially when she finds an incredible ice heart like this one! You can see more of her world by visiting her blog, "It's All About Purple".

(I hope Spring is making its way to your world, Debbie!)

Thank you, dear friend, for sharing your heart!

I love this postcard heart Dorothy posted on her blog, "Coffeedoff's CoffeeBreak". It looks absolutely yummy!

Mostly I was excited about the post Dorothy put up last Friday ... with a huge announcement about a wonderful accomplishment in her life! You'll have to visit her to see what it is!!!

Thank you, Dorothy, for sharing your heart!

and ... CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You are Amazing!!!

The first heart for today comes from "It's All About Purple", where Debbie had an incredibly beautiful moment with this butterfly. Of course it was perched on a purple flower!

And check out the little heart shaped tear in its wing ...

Thank you, Debbie, for sharing your heart!

I love how Dorothy finds wonderful hearts ... all on postcards!

Which you can view on her blog, "Coffeedoff's Coffeebreak".

Thank you so much, Dorothy, for sharing your heart!

My friend Linda, who had the heart-shaped sneaker footprints last week, also sent along this wonderful topiary heart photo when she visited in July.

Isn't it awesome?

Thank you, Linda, for sharing your heart!

Of all the birds in the world, barn owls are pretty much my favorites.

Can you guess why???

Be sure to read the story of Wilbur the Barn Owl's adoption over at "Poetic Shutterbug ... A Poet With a Camera".

It's amazing!

Thank you, Poetic Shutterbug, for sharing your heart!

I am so envious that Sissie has had the privilege of spending all of July hanging out with our niece, my little "Honey Heart".

I love that they have been going on nature walks, and heart seeking walks ...

Because they find the BEST hearts!

(Which are usually posted on Beth's blog, "Expect the Unexpected")

Thank you, Honey Heart, for sharing your heart!

Thank you, Sissie, for helping and encouraging her!

When Debbie linked this eye-popping sand castle last week, I was in awe. I just don't have a clue how these artists can make such beauty ... knowing the next tide will wash them away ...

To see more pictures of this amazing structure ... and get to know Debbie (she's awesome too, by the way!), visit her blog, "It's All About Purple".

Thank you, Debbie, for sharing your heart!

I just love creative and artistic people ... I am constantly amazed at the beauty they find and create in their worlds ... like this amazing and unique wedding invitation (I love the heart addition!) that Adrienne posted on her blog, "My Memory Art". All I can say is "WOW!"

Thank you, Adrienne, for sharing your heart!

I've featured Laura and her incredible hearts before. There's a reason for that!

Laura is a HUGE inspiration for me ... check out her blog, "Shine the Divine". 

Laura does, indeed, shine.

(She also hosts a weekly "I Heart Macro")

Thank you, dear friend, for sharing your heart!

I was visiting Laura's "I Heart Macro" links when this one jumped out at me - what an incredibly beautiful (and flavorful!) heart Jama posted on her blog, "Sweet Memories"!

Jama is from Singapore and says she is "trying to be a better photographer". I think she's on the right track, don't you?

Thank you, Jama, for sharing your heart!

I had to love the story of this heart ...
 

Dorothy delights my heart each week with postcards featuring hearts for every occasion imaginable!

But when she tried to find a New Year heart to post on her blog, "Coffeedoff's CoffeeBreak", there were none to be found!

Dorothy was just about ready to admit defeat ... when she got this postcard in the mail.

Complete with a heart!

Thank you, Dorothy, for sharing your heart!

You may know Susannah as "Wanderin' Weeta" ... because that's her blog - "Wanderin' Weeta (with Waterfowl and Weeds)"!

I have been following Susannah's blog for a long time now ... but it seems like I am always learning something new about nature and beauty - each time I visit!

Susannah's post about lichen last week had so many hearts in it, I had a hard time choosing which shot to feature! I see at least 5 in this photo ... do you see more?

Thank you, Susannah, for sharing your heart!

I can't say enough about how much I love Leovi's art.

He does things with everyday items ... reflections and colors ... that fascinate me.

I look forward to each and every work of art Leovi posts over at ("Abstract Photos")!

Thank you, Leovi, for sharing your heart!

And then Debbie just had to post the most DELICIOUS heart of all time!

It's a bear claw heart!!!

"It's All About Purple" ... a wonderful place!

Thank you Debbie (and Chuck) for sharing your breakfast ... er, your heart!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

This is one of my favorite beach heart photos of all time.

There is a story here ... a love story.

Are you intrigued?

Then be sure to visit Debbie over at "It's All About Purple".

For a beautiful story that is true life!

Thank you, Debbie, for sharing your heart!

(Thank you, Chuck, for being such a sweetheart!)

Once again, Gypsy Lala found a heart - this time a sweet and delicate flowery one.

You can find Gypsy Lala over at her blog, "Just Capture" - where she shares beautiful photos of her world.

Thank you, again, Gypsy Lala ... for sharing your heart!

I couldn't help but notice the two hearts on this delightful cowboy's horse.

To see more wonderful posts about daily life in Oakland ... visit "Oakland Daily Photo".

Thank you, ODP, for sharing your heart!

I always love to visit JM. He is also part of the wonderful "Daily Photo" community - and shares photos and history of his world through his eyes over at "Oeiras and Environs Daily Photo".

I love that JM called this shot "Red Plastic Invasion" - he made me smile!

Especially when I noticed each one of these bright red chairs was sporting a heart!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world - in support of Leontien!!!

I love seeing Perry's world ... which I find on his appropriately named blog ... "My World"!

Perry is a very talented photographer, who has been playing with his new camera lately, and coming up with some stunning photos!
(Most of all, though, I love Perry's occasional trips to the Coast, and the beautiful photos he brings back from my favorite place in the world!)

Do you see the heart Perry found in the fog? (Hint - it's upside down!)

Thank you, Perry, for sharing your heart!

Siga over at "My Canary Life" made me cry last week; with the beauty of this yellow heart ... perfectly paired with a quote from Nelson Mandela ... "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."

Siga spoke to me in MY language ... and it did indeed go straight to MY heart!

Thank you so much, Siga, for sharing your heart!

"... And There Was Light" is the perfect title for Fly's blog.
I went there to check out this beautiful cloud heart ...
And ended up staying for a long, long time - in awe of the beauty I found!!!

Thank you, Fly, for sharing your heart!

I appreciate Debbie so much ...
Her blog, "It's All About Purple" is another favorite place of mine!

And I especially love it when Debbie posts pictures like this delightful little squirrel ...
With his little heart-shaped folded hands!!!

Thank you, Debbie, for sharing your heart!

Sometimes, when I have a few spare moments, I blog surf.
Sometimes, when I'm blog surfing, I come across an unexpected heart!
Like this one I found posted by Gringo over at "An Unscheduled Stop".

Gringo describes himself as "A Devonian now living in the rural English county of Norfolk enjoying a relatively peaceful life with my wife, and of course my dog, a Beagle, who thinks she’s the boss around here."

Thank you, Gringo, for sharing your "unscheduled" heart!

I had to giggle at Debbie's story about the uncooperative goose ... it seems she was trying to take his portrait to post on her blog "It's All About Purple" ... but he kept turning his back to her.

Turns out it's because he wanted Debbie to see his heart!

Thank you, Debbie, for sharing your heart!

I'm still getting my fix of Florida sunshine over at Claire's "Tallahassee Daily Photos". Just look at this amazing postcard she found - the heart is beautiful - but isn't the message hysterical???

Thank you, Claire, for sharing your heart!

When my niece Tiffi visited us last year, she found this unusual heart ...
An old rusty chainsaw chain had been left on top of the fireplace ...
The funny thing is ... only Tiffi recognized the heart!

Thank you, dear Tiffani, for sharing your heart!

When I need some beauty and quiet time in my life, I head over to "Spirithelpers". I know that the beauty Tammie Lee finds will be sweetly echoed in the words she uses to describe her world ... Do you see the icy twig heart in this shot?

Thank you, Tammie Lee, for sharing your heart!

To see the delicate hearts in Tammie Lee's butterflies, you should enlarge this shot. There are tiny hearts everywhere!!!

Thank you, again, Tammie Lee - for sharing your heart!

What more beautiful signs of spring than blossoms ...
Like these beautiful blossoms Debbie found and posted to her amazing blog, "It's All About Purple"!

I love how the top flower has two petals, backlit by the sun ... to form a beautiful glowing heart.

Thank you, Debbie, for sharing your heart!

Cheryl sent me this picture with the following explanation: "I am once again addicted to watching the eagles in Decorah, Iowa. Today the first pip was sighted. The moderators posted a photo from the webcam .... Look! The pip is heart-shaped! Is this extra amazing or what? If I had to guess, I'd say this is Mom with the eggs. She has a little bit of fine, black feathers on her head where Dad's head is completely snow white. Once the egg starts hatching, both mom and dad are on the nest to welcome their new little one. If you haven't checked out this site, HERE it is!"

Cheryl is near and dear to my heart ... she was the first follower (aside from Sissie, of course) on my first blog. She helped me through many confusing blogging situations!

Cheryl is on a hiatus from blogging for a while, but she promises to be back, hopefully this summer!!! You can visit her at "Nostalgia: Today and Yesterday" to see her past posts, and wait for her to return with new ones!

Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing your heart!

Kavita is from guwahati, assam, India ... and posts awesome pictures of the beauty she finds in her world. Best of all, she captures in words as well as pictures the traditions and history she shares ... on her blog "My Room"!

I don't think Kavita realized when she posted this darling pair of goats that she had captured a unique and precious heart ... check out that mommy's upper leg!!!

Thank you, Kavita, for sharing your beautiful country ... and your heart!

When Texwisgirl sent me this link to Suzanne's blog "Island Wonder", I had an enjoyable time just looking at beautiful Hawaii ... and being a bit envious!

Until I came to this gorgeous photo - that's when I stopped in amazement - at this perfect heart worn into the rocks by the passage of time and water!!!

Then I saw the next photo ... and it's one of the most beautifully romantic pictures I've seen in a long time ...

It's Suzanne's "Honey"!!!

Thank you Suzanne, for sharing your heart!

My heart-sister Dani found this PERFECT heart in her tea cup.
Dani is still on sabbatical from her blogs, and sent this to me via e-mail.

I know you see some of these posts, Dani, and I just want you to know I MISS you!

Thank you, Dani, for sharing your heart.

Debbie over at "It's All About Purple" has done it again - I'm talking CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!
Debbie humbles and inspires me for many reasons - one of which is the way she sees and captures the world with her photos. She doesn't just capture the subjects in her pictures ... she somehow captures their very essence ...

And sometimes she captures their cute little nose-shaped hearts!

Thank you, thank you, THANK you, Debbie, for sharing your world ... and your heart!

Terry over at "Bent Objects" is my hero.
I'm trying to come up with a description of his work ... it is delightful and whimsical and indescribable. You will just have to visit him to see what I mean!!!

Thank you, Terry, for bringing delight to my world, and for sharing your heart!

My sister sent me a link to Karen's blog "Contemplations and Ruminations" - and this post in particular. Karen had found a fascinating restaurant where all of the entrees had celebrity status ... for instance, this wonderfully delicious looking dish was called "Kurt Cowbain".

And was shaped like a heart!

Thank you, Karen, for sharing your laughter - and your heart!

Sandra was a bit worried about this shot ... She thought maybe this fierce looking Florida crocodile would be a bit too scary and gruesome to link up with Guest Heart Thursday ...

"On the contrary," I cried!!! - "It's all about hearts!!!" - cute and cuddly, ugly and gruesome, or just plain yucky ... ALL found hearts are BEAUTIFUL - even this one. In fact, it's PERFECT!!!

With that said, do you see the croc heart Sandra found?
Check out the end of his snout, you'll see. Isn't it perfect?

Be sure to visit Sandra's wonderful blog, "Mad Snapper" - you'll be delighted as you travel back through her archives ... I know I had a wonderful journey!

Thank you, Sandra, for sharing your heart!
