Guest Heart Thursday #173

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

A Place to Share YOUR Heart!

When I found this tiny random heart on a search engine, I just had to share it - and Amber's blog, "Amber's Ambry". I so much enjoyed visiting - and especially enjoyed visiting her garden!

Thank you, Amber, for sharing your heart!

If you haven't visited Maria's "Connections to the World", you are missing out. Not only is her postcard blog fun, but Maria herself is a truly sweet person - a wonderful friend; and an inspiration to me!

Thank you, Maria, for sharing your heart!

 "My Random Hearts" caught my eye - of course - as I was surfing a bit the other day. When I visited, I fell in love with this blog, and it's author - "Flamboyant Wallflower". I hope to spend more time getting acquainted in the near future!

Thank you, Flamboyant Wallflower, for sharing your heart!

Susannah has been an inspiration to me for so long ... I love visiting her blog, "Wanderin' Weeta (With Waterfowl and Weeds)". When she came across this moth with a heart, I knew I had to share it. Because I see at least 4 hearts here! How many do YOU see???

Thank you, Susannah, for sharing your heart!

And I totally fell in love with this heart Tina posted on her blog, "Tina's PicStory". Tina is another amazing blogging friend, who has inspired me immensely!

Thank you, Tina, for sharing your heart!

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

A Place to Share YOUR Heart!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends who are celebrating today!

It will be a quiet celebration at our house ...

Our first without Daddy.

There is still so much to be thankful for, though ...

Mostly I am thankful for YOU.

The outpouring of love from my blogging family has helped to sustain me.

To know that so many people care ...

It helps ease the pain.

And brings a different kind of tears.

Bless you all. My friends ... My family.

I chose this picture Tina posted last week on her blog, "Tina's PicStory".

The "broken hearts" Tina found in the skies brought tears to my eyes.

Then, as I looked closer ... through a blurry mist of grief, I saw something else.

An angel.

Do you see it?

The mists cleared away as I realized that joy, peace, love and miracles are always there, to help ease the pain of a broken heart.

Thank you, dear Tina, for sharing your heart.

And helping to mend my own.

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!!!

When I found this amazing heart shaped root that Gypsy Lala posted ... I was so excited to share it!

And when I need to take a virtual walk, and find some real peace, I visit Gypsy Lala's blog, "Just Capture".

I just know you will find the same.

Thank you, Gypsy Lala, for sharing your heart!

I love to spend time with Judy over at "Lilac Gate".

Judy delights my heart with her wonderful photography of the nature she finds in her world ... and sometimes, the hearts! Do you see the shimmering hearts she found in these watery reflections?

Thank you, Judy, for sharing your heart!

I am a fairly new follower of Nancy over at "A Rural Journal".

And what a treasure she is!

Nancy hosts the wonderful "Rural Thursday Blog Hop" - and even though I rarely get to link up, I love visiting those who do!

Nancy didn't realize she was posting this elusive moth heart. Do you see it? 

Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your heart!

Tina delights my soul. When I am burned out with life, and need a break, her blog is one of the first places I go to escape ... and find joy.

Those of you who love memes already know about "Tina's PicStory".

She hosts several!

And still finds the time to photograph her world ... and find delightful hearts!

Thank you, Tina, for sharing your heart!

I have been following "Unseen Rajasthan's" blog for a long time, and am constantly in awe of the beauty of India shared here. If I ever visit this amazing country in person, this is where I will start!

Do you see the ancient flower hearts at the top of this relief?

Thank you, "Unseen Rajasthan", 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!

I love to hang out over at "Tina's PicStory's" place ...

Tina amazes and inspires me!!!

I especially love the hearts she finds in her world.

Thank you, Tina, for sharing your heart!

I love the pictures Beth shares on her blog, "Expect the Unexpected".

Beth is an incredible artist as well ... and she often hides hearts in her drawings.

You can find her beautiful artwork over at "Beth's Artworx".

Thank you, sissie, for sharing your heart!

I love visiting Lisbon ...

Especially when I get to see it's beauty through the eyes and camera of JM of "Oeiras and environs daily photo". I love the buildings he frequently features - especially when they have hearts in their windows!!!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

I had to gasp when I saw this deer racing through Roan's blog, "Rubbish by Roan".

Do you see the heart?

It's in the little puff of dust the deer is kicking up!!!

Thank you, Roan, for sharing your heart!

Susannah posted another picture that made me gasp.

Look at those hearts on the anemone tentacles!!!

And did you know this Sunday, September 9th, is

INTERNATIONAL ROCK FLIPPING DAY???

If you haven't heard about this wonderful and fun way to get out and discover your world -- check out Susannah's blog, "Wanderin' Weeta (With Waterfowl and Weeds)"!

Then get out there on Sunday and FLIP OVER A ROCK!!!

(It's been a long hard week ... I haven't been online for so long!

I hope the business will subside, so I can visit you all SOON!!!)

Tina found this beautiful Queen Anne's Lace ... heart!

I love Tina's blog - "Tina's PicStory" - and can't wait to get back into the swing of things so I can once again join the fun she has!

Beth found a delightful Queen Anne's Lace ... heart too!

You can find this, and other amazing pictures from "The Abandoned" by visiting her blog!

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

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!

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

"Pieni Lintu's" entry to to this week's "Macro Monday" (more about that later) really caught my eye.
Was it the excellent photography?
Was it the brilliant color?
Was it the heart?
Actually it was YES - to all three!

Thank you, Pieni Lintu, for sharing your heart!

I have seen many mussel shells on the beach ...
But never one like this heart-shaped one that "Maboe" found!
(I found myself wishing I could curl my toes in that beautiful sand!)

Thank you, Maboe, for sharing your heart!

When Lisa posted this tiny little heart, I was amazed - but not surprised. Lisa takes the most wonderful macro shots ... but that doesn't surprise me either.
You see, "Lisa's Chaos" hosts the hugely popular "Macro Monday" - a great place to share the macro shots you take of your world!

Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your heart!

When I opened the e-mail from my sister-in-law, I had to giggle out loud at this picture I found attached. Who would have known Ernie has a heart shaped tongue!!!

Thank you, Bert, for sharing your heart!

"Tina's PicStory" is another place I love to hang out.
Tina hosts several memes ... and still manages to get out and take some amazing photos!

Thank you, Tina, for sharing your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

Hearts "In the Kitchen" - Tina's PicStory

Tina's PicStory challenge this week is "In the Kitchen".

So ... we start our meal with heart pizza!

Unless you would prefer a frozen chicken heart.

A 'hearty' tea is our beverage of choice!

With a delightfully yummy strawberry heart on the side.

For dessert, cake - with a frosting heart!

Thank you, Tina, for hosting PicStory!

Hearts Revisited - PicStory

I am revisiting some of the hearts I have collected over the years ...
Here is a rusty heart, found on an old light fixture at the abandoned church across the street.

It was springtime when I found this feather heart tucked in amongst the hawthorn blossoms.

And one of my favorite hearts of all time ... I called it
"Worshiping the Chicken Wing Heart".

Tina's "PicStory" photo challenge this week is HEARTS - how could I resist???

Laura sent me this wintertime heart she had found ...
I love it for many different reasons!
It's beauty mirrors the seasons of life changes that we all go through ... and reminds me that even when life doesn't go the way we planned, there is still beauty to be found.

Laura personifies the beauty of this heart.
She is going through more adversity in her life than I can imagine, yet still shines, encourages, inspires.

Visit Laura over at "Shine the Divine: Creativity IS a Spiritual Practice" - you will love it there too!

Thank you, Laura, for being you - and for sharing your heart.

I have introduced you to Costas before - he makes MAGIC over at his blog "Nature Digital".
Costas is from Greece, a country in turmoil.
Yet it's beauty is undiminished - as Costas shows in every post.

So ... where you ask is the heart in this picture?

It's tiny, but it's there! Right near the bottom of the shot!

Costas has turned off his "Comments", and I wanted to take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU", Costas, for the magic you bring to my life!

And thank you for sharing your heart!

When I think of Tina, I think of her blog "Tina's PicStory" - and I think "photo challenge"!

When she posts her photos, however, I am amazed at her beautiful photos! Like this sunflower heart. I am in awe of you, Tina!

Thank you for all you do ... and thank you for sharing your heart!

JM's blog "Oeiras and environs daily photo" is fast becoming another of my favorite places to visit. JM is from Portugal, a country I will probably never visit in person ... but I am able to visit daily through JM's beautiful and evocative photography and narration.

Thank you, JM, for sharing your beautiful environs ... and for sharing your heart!

And what can I say about Owen???
His "Magic Lantern Show (OR ... Mr. Toad's Travel Diary)" is filled with fun, beauty, humor, history, rust, cemeteries, and just about anything that catches the eyes of Mr. Toad. I LOVE it!

Owen found these Chinese Lantern plants in his garden unbidden - and decided to leave them. I'm so glad he did - they are absolutely beautiful!
And "hearty"!

Thank you, Owen, for sharing your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.
