Guest Heart Thursday #103

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A Place to Share 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!
Thank you, Texwisgirl, for sending the link!

Surprise Snow ... and a Heart


Here in western Oregon we don't get much snow ... usually a flurry in December or January ... so last Wednesday's Springtime snow storm took us all by surprise!

It didn't last long, but it was a welcome change from the rain.

As the snow melted, I found this heart left behind.

Welcome to A Special SISSIE Edition of Guest Heart Thursday ...
A Place to Share YOUR Heart!


Why a Sissie edition of Guest Heart Thursday?

Because I haven't seen my sister in over a week ...
And I'm having withdrawals!!!

Sissie has been with GHT from the beginning ...
Finding the most amazing hearts ...

That always make me smile ...
And sometimes make me drool ...
(For those of you who know me, you will know my two favorite things are hearts and the beach!)

Beth hosts our annual "Fourth of July" party! ...


For a lot of reasons, Sissie has a very special place in my HEART!

Have you met Beth yet?
You can explore her beautiful world over at "Expect the Unexpected" ...
Or you can stand in awe of her artwork over at "Beth's Artworx"
You can explore "The Abandoned" with us ...
Or join in "Postcard Friendship Friday" fun over at "The Best Hearts Are Crunchy" ...
You will see differently through Beth's eyes when you visit "Geometric" ...
And you will delight in her "Angel Stories" ...

Thank you, dear sissie, for sharing your HEARTS!!!

One world. One people. One heart.

Guest Heart Thursday #101


Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A Place to Share YOUR Heart!



I introduced you to Owen last week ...
I hope you visited his wonderful blog "Magic Lantern Show (OR ... Mr. Toad's Travel Diary)"!
Owen posted this amazing Chinese lantern heart some time ago ... I rediscovered it as I was going through my Guest Heart file!

Thank you, Owen, for sharing your heart!


I love how Laura captured this sun-heart moment ...

Please keep Laura in your thoughts and prayers ... Laura has MS, and has been very ill.
Laura has been a HUGE inspiration to me through her blog "Shine The Divine: Creativity is a Spiritual Practice" - where I am humbled by the true beauty of her brightly shining soul - in spite of her devastating diagnosis.



((Please join me in a quiet moment of Love and Peace for Laura))



Thank you, Laura, for sharing your heart.


I hadn't heard from my heart-sister Dani in a while ...
It turns out she's busy back at school in China after her winter break in Macedonia.

This is a beautiful cloud heart Dani found last summer ... and you can see more of her amazing hearts by visiting "A Lovely Home for Hearts".

Dani posts pictures of her everyday life on "Snow Flowers".

Thank you, Dani, for sharing your heart!


When Lois over at "Tallahassee Daily Photo" went on hiatus, she urged us to check out a new kid on the "City Daily Photo" block ...

I would like to introduce you to Claire over at "Tallahassee Daily Photos"!!!
(Because I have to get my daily dose of warmth somewhere!!!)

I loved finding the cloud hearts in this picture Claire posted ...

Thank you, Claire, for sharing your hearts!


Theresa has been a friend of my sister's for years and years, but it was only last summer that I had the chance to get to know her ... and realize that we have A LOT in common!!!

Theresa found this delicate wildflower heart and sent it to Beth, who in turn sent it to me in an e-mail ... We have had no luck in identifying what kind of flower it is!

Thank you, Theresa, for sharing your friendship ... and your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

Guest Heart Thursday #100


Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday ...
A place to share YOUR Heart!


(Check it out ... this is Week #100, can you believe it???!!!)


If I ever travel again to Paris, I will make it my mission to walk in some of the footsteps of Owen. Because if you want to see this magnificent city in a way few have, you need to go where Mr. Toad has trod!!! (I'll give you a hint ... this beautiful heart shaped lichen was found in a most unusual spot!!!)

I have been following Owen's blog, "Magic Lantern Show (OR ... Mr. Toad's Travel Diary)" for a long time now, and I look forward to each of his wonderful posts.

Thank you, Owen, for sharing your heart!

Diane has done it again ... she's found delightful hearts in her amazing desert world!
Someday I will visit the desert, because thanks to Diane, I now know what amazing and beautiful places they are.
You can see the soul of Diane's world over at "Simply This". If you're looking for the beauty of the desert, you'll find it over at "Desert Colors".

Thank you, Diane, for sharing your heart!


Pam didn't know she was seeing hearts when she found this beautiful peacock!
Pam lives on the opposite side of the USA from where I live, in a totally different world.
I love to visit her world, "Whims n Whispers" ... when I need a dose of beauty and serenity, I know I can find it here.

Thank you, Pam, for sharing your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

Guest Heart Thursday #99


Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A place to share YOUR heart!



Susannah spends a lot of time at the beach ... where she found this amazing heart (hermit crab)!
She posts her finds on her blog "Wanderin' Weeta (With Waterfowl and Weeds)".
Susannah is high on the list of those who have inspired me ... she has taught me to look at the tiny beauty in the world ... to flip a stone and see what's underneath ... to pay attention to my world and do what I can to help nature survive.

Thank you, Susannah, for sharing your heart!


Misty Dawn is an amazing lady - if you read her profile, you will wonder how she does it all!!! Of course you can find out more by just looking at her blog, "Misty's Musings" ... I'll give you a hint - she loves nature!!!

For Valentines Day, Misty posted this flock of birds.
But they're not just birds - check out the heart they make!

Thank you, Misty Dawn, for sharing your heart!

Tina is another friend whose blog I LOVE to visit. I'm not sure how Tina does it all either! She hosts several memes ... and participates in many others.

And has the time to get out and about to take amazing photos too - which you can see over at her blog "Tina's PicStory".
Check out her rose heart!

Thank you, Tina, for sharing your heart!


When I think of "desert", one of the first places I think of is Diane's peaceful and beautiful blog "Simply This".

Her comments are turned off for now, but I urge you to visit anyway!

Thank you, Diane, for sharing your desert ... and your heart!


Diane's other blog is "Desert Colors".
I have come to love the beauty of the desert through Diane's eyes ...
When she posted this beautiful "sun dog", I had to gasp ... at the beautiful heart she found!

Thank you, Diane, for sharing your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.
