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!

As always - a huge thank you to all who found hearts last week. I can't wait for you to link up today ... and show everyone the amazing hearts you found in your world this week!!!

Lois is one of the first people I met when I started blogging so long ago. She taught me a lot! She took a break for a while, and I missed her so much ...

But she's back now, giving me my sunshine fix on her blog, "Tallahassee Daily Photo".

I don't think Lois realized, when she posted this shot, that she captured a bunch of stylish hearts in the bed frame!

Thank you, Lois, for sharing your heart!

I was watching a travel show on PBS earlier this week when I heard the host say he was featuring Lisbon.

As I watched the show, I couldn't help but compare his "tourist" Lisbon with the Lisbon I've come to love through the camera of JM. In short ... there was no comparison. The touristy show fell flat. 

JM captures Lisbon and more on his blog, "Lisbon and the Sunny Coast".

And sometimes he captures hearts. Like the ones on this tree ...

Thank you, JM, for sharing the REAL Lisbon ... and for sharing your heart!

As always - a huge thank you to all who found hearts last week. I can't wait for you to link up today ... and show everyone the amazing hearts you found in your world this week!!!

It's autumn in this hemisphere of the world ..

I love how the leaves are changing color ...

Especially the heart shaped leaves - like this one Fly posted over at "...and there was Light".

Thank you, Fly, for sharing your heart!

I would love to see this heart up close - it looks huge - and gorgeous!

Plus ... it was posted over at JM's blog, "Lisbon and the Sunny Coast" - which is one of my favorite places to visit!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

The flower is called a nutmeg scented geranium.

(I do wish they would invent a "scratch n sniff" app!)

Check out Judy's amazing photography over at "Lilac Gate".

Thank you, Judy, for sharing your heart!

"Ol Mother Hubbard" has an amazing blog, where you can find this amazingly talented and crafty lady sharing what she does best ... bringing beauty and fun to the world!

Her daughter made these fish rattles. Aren't they cute?

Thank you, Ol Mother Hubbard, for sharing your heart!

Happy Independence Day to my U.S. Friends!

Be Safe - Have Fun - Find Hearts!

Jeannette is an incredible artist, a beautiful and warm-hearted lady, and a good blogging friend, who has just returned from a wonderful adventure! I immediately saw the upside-down heart on this rock Jeannette posted on her blog, "Artistique". Do you see it?

Be sure to visit Jeannette's "Art Notes" to see her wonderful and amazing artwork!

Thank you, Jesh, for sharing your heart!

Once again I caught JM sharing his heart ... I mean hearts! Look at all of the wonderful hearts on this beautiful red fence! I would love to go sit on one of those benches and daydream, wouldn't you?

You can catch JM's gorgeous photography at his blog, "Lisbon and the Sunny Coast".

Thank you, again, JM - for sharing your heart!

I want to invite you over to "Ol Mother Hubbard" ...

I've been following her for a while now, and am amazed and delighted by her creativity.

I am also incredibly honored that one of my hearts is featured on her first ever "Treasure Chest Thursday"!

Thank you, Ol Mother Hubbard, for sharing your heart!

(and mine!)

Look at what I found on Deann, er, "Grannie Annie's" blog "The Whimsey Asylum" ...

Oh, this picture is more than just hearts and pretty faces!

It's a masterpiece! From one of my favorite heart-sisters!!!

Who is not only talented, but GORGEOUS as well!

 ((Seriously, Deann, did you think you could get away with sneaking this one in without us noticing???))

 Thank you, dear friend, for sharing your heart!

I love it when JM sneaks a heart into one of his posts ...

Because then I get to feature it ... and YOU get to visit his amazing blog, "Lisbon and the Sunny Coast"!

Pretty soon you'll be like me - visiting Portugal whenever you get the chance!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

Another place I love to visit is "Marges8's Blog" - where I spend hours at a time just looking over the amazing and at times surprisingly sophisticated paper dolls!

And you thought I was too old to play with paper dolls!!!

NOT! And neither are you!

Thank you, Marlendy, for sharing your heart!

I am always in awe of what "Junkin' Jane" posts on her blog.

Everything she does inspires me!!!

So when she posted a series of handmade bears ... I was intrigued.

When I found out what they are made from, I was ENTRANCED!

And look - this one has a little red heart!!!

Be sure to visit "Junkin' Jane" to find out what makes this gorgeous little bear so very special!

And thank you, Jane, for sharing your heart!

I have featured JM before - his blog, "Lisbon and the Sunny Coast" is one of my favorite virtual-vacation destinations!

And sometimes he posts hearts - like the ones in this interesting graffiti ...

Thank you again, JM, for sharing your heart!

Denise (AKA "Pearmama") is amazing.

And I don't use that word lightly!

I don't know how she finds time for herself in her busy days

of being a mother, an activist, an artist, a teacher ...

But she seems to thrive - with a humor and grace that keep me coming back to her blog to read more!!!

Thank you, Pearmama, for sharing your heart!

(Due to computer issues ... arrrrgh! ... I found myself unable to comment on your INCREDIBLE hearts last week. I did visit you all - and hope - computer willing - to do double comments this week!)

I love visiting JM over at "Lisbon and the Sunshine Coast" ... I get to feast my soul on beautiful scenery, warmth, and JM's incredible "decay" photos - all in the same place!

And sometimes he posts a heart - do you see the ones in this fence?

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

When I saw this shot Teri posted on her blog "Teri H Hoover Photography" ... I was entranced.

I already knew Teri and her sister are fellow heart seekers ... and that Teri is an excellent photographer.

But something about this shot of the little bird statues contemplating the leafy heart ...

Well, it's one of my favorites of all time.

Thank you, Teri, for sharing your heart!

Gypsy Lala needs few words over at "Just Capture" - the incredible photos speak for themselves!

Do you see the butterfly? I do! I also see the delicate heart-shaped "wings" on this beautiful "flying butterfly" flower.

Thank you, Gypsy Lala, for sharing your heart!

I love seeing the beautiful Christmas decorations being posted this time of year by my blogger family. But the decorations I most look forward to each year are posted by the sweet and amazingly talented Darlene over at "A Dancing Mango".

So where are the hearts in this shot?

If you look carefully at the wallpaper in the background ...

Thank you, Darlene, for sharing your Christmas spirit - and your heart!

JM finds the most amazing abandoned buildings (among other things!) ... which he posts on his blog, "Lisbon and the Sunshine Coast".

I love this shot of a mime performing in front of one such building ...

With a tiny little heart on his bag!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

When Texwisgirl sent me a link to Kim's blog, "My Field of Dreams", I knew I was in for a treat.

What I found was a delightful place - with beautiful pictures, and someone whose random thoughts are a treasure trove!

Kim was about to straighten out the wreath she had just hung on her front door ... when she realized it was a heart - and left it! 

Thank you, Kim, for saving this heart - and for sharing it!

Thank you, Texwisgirl, for sending the link!

Just when I thought I was done reading my e-mails, I found another link from Texwisgirl.

And went straight to yet another delightful blog - Susan's "this n that".

And found myself, once again, in a treasure trove!

Like this adorable cow ... with the equally adorable heart!

Thank you, Susan, for sharing your heart!

And thank you, AGAIN, Texwisgirl, for sending the link!

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

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!

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

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

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!

I love Laura.

She is a huge inspiration in my life.

When I see the trials she faces with grace and love ...

I am awed and humbled.

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

I love it when JM finds hearts.

Even when he doesn't realize it!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

I fell in love with Lessandra's artistic hearts.

Isn't that beautiful?

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!!!

I will probably never travel to Portugal ... 

But I feel as if I've already been there!

If you follow JM's blog, "Oeiras and environs daily photo", you've seen the beauty of this country already as well!

I love it when JM finds hearts ... there are a bunch in this shot - and you will see even more if you enlarge the photo!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

 Dani is such a special heart-sister ...
She hasn't been able to post on her blogs lately, due to circumstances beyond her control, but you can check out some of her older posts at "A Lovely Home for Hearts".

I hope she's able to see this ... and knows how much I miss her!!

Thank you, Dani, for sharing your heart!

 I got an e-mail from Texwisgirl ... sending me a very special link ...

To a perfect spiderweb heart!
That Kerri posted on her blog, "A Little Piece of Me".

I can hardly wait to visit ... and explore some more!

Thank you, Kerri, for sharing your heart!
Thank you, Texwisgirl, for sharing the link!

When you visit Fly's blog, "And there was Light", you will find someone who knows how to make magic.
