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

Robert found this gorgeous bench in Athens ...
When he posted it on his blog, "Daily Athens Photo", I fell in love with the simple beauty of the heart that had been painted here.

Robert has a way of doing that ... finding the most amazing photos ...
and then pairing them with history (past and current!) to tell the stories of what he sees in the world around him.

Thank you, Robert, for sharing your heart!

"Barnyards and Barnacles" is where Sunny shares amazing photos of her world - and some of them take my breath away - like this wonderful heart she found!!!

Thank you, Sunny, for sharing your heart!

(This is not something I often do ... but Sunny - have you ever met Debbie?
Debbie, do you know Sunny?
I just have a wonderful feeling that you are kindred spirits - and would be great friends!!!)

Dani, one of my adopted heart-sisters, is traveling again ...
She's been going back and forth between China and Macedonia ...

And is going to be home for a while!
(Home would be Macedonia!)

I can't wait to see all of the hearts Dani shares on her "Lovely Home for Hearts"!!!
I know it's been a tough year for that ...

Thank you, Dani, for sharing when you can ... your heart!

JM posted this cute dog statue on his AMAZING blog "Oeiras and Environs Daily Photo" - I was fascinated by the blotches of lichen ...

Especially the one that's shaped like a heart!!!

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

One world. One people. One heart.

My friend Louis B. sent me this wonderful geranium photo. Instead of a blog, Louis lives in the "back country of Southern California" - internet free! I picture Louis kicking back on the porch in the early morning air, cup of coffee in hand, finding the beauty of nature ... finding hearts! Do you see the little hearts in this picture?
Ahhhh, what a life!

Thank you, Louis, for sharing your heart!

Another found heart this week comes to us from Australia ...
She is known on her blog "Pieces of Contentment" as "Pieces of Sunshine" ... to me she personifies both wonderful contentment and beautiful sunshine.

I discovered her blog through a post on Tina's "Weekend Flowers", and have been enchanted by her amazing photos (like this stunning heart-in-a-flower!) ever since. If you want to feel true contentment ... and bask in the beauty of sunshine ... visit here!

Thank you, Pieces of Sunshine, for sharing your heart!

Another flower heart ... this time found by Kristi over at "Kristi Bowman Design". Kristi is an amazing artist, who creates beautiful jewelry. This rose heart completely stole MY heart; and I wasn't the only one! Kristi's submission to last week's "Weekend Flowers" was voted as favorite for the week! Congratulations Kristi, although I have to say I'm NOT surprised!

Thank you, Kristi, for sharing your heart!

One of my favorite people to visit is Sunny over at "Barnyards & Barnacles". Sunny is a gifted photographer ... her farm animal shots are amazing (like this sheep-with-hearts shot) ... as are the rest of the photos she posts. Sunny also has an incredible sense of humor, which I adore!

Thank you, Sunny, for sharing your heart!

Costas' photos long ago captured my heart.
I have many times encouraged those who visit his blog to be sure to enlarge his photos to see the transformation from ordinary picture to magic!

Costas' series "Secrets of the Rock" is outstanding - one of the "secrets" involves these beautiful little flowers ... picked one day a year ... and made into beautiful designs - including hearts! To learn more "secrets of the rock", visit Costas over at "Nature Digital!"

And thank you, Costas, for sharing your world ... and your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

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

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

Sunny over at "Barnyards and Barnacles" finds the most interesting subjects - and photographs them beautifully. I love her sense of humor, and her unique way of showing us her wonderful world.

Thank you, Sunny, for brightening my life, and for sharing your heart!

Robert is amazing.
He shares his beautiful city of Athens on his blog "Daily Athens". But not only does Robert share the beauty of Athens, he also shares the everyday grittiness of life there as well - which I deeply appreciate.

Robert also hosts "Psalm Challenge" on Sundays, and I am looking forward to participating soon!

Thank you, Robert, for being amazing ... and for sharing your heart!

Louis sent these beautiful "Ballerina" roses to us from the back country of Southern California.
The picture is titled "Find a Heart" - do you accept the challenge?
How many hearts do you see?

Thank you, Louis, for sharing your hearts!

What can I say about Dani?
She is my soul sister!
We only met a short time ago, yet I feel I've known her a long time.
And she is AMAZING!

Dani is from Macedonia, currently going to school in China.
A whole world away from where I am, yet I can visit her anytime I want over at "Snow Flowers" and "A Lovely Home for Hearts". You should visit her too!

Thank you, Dani, for being a wonderful friend ... and for sharing your hearts!

One of my favorite kinds of hearts are the everyday hearts that seem to pop up out of nowhere, just waiting to be found.

Like the cute little worn hole heart that Inger-M found in her daughter's sock.
It's absolutely precious!

You can find Inger over at her wonderful blog "A Picture in Time".

Thank you, Inger, for sharing your delightful heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

Random Hearts wishes a Happy Mother's Day to all Moms out there!

Jann over at "Forever Jann" is from Texas. Can you tell? She recently posted a series of vintage Texas postcards. This one was my favorite!

Jann is a wonderful artist, and a good friend. When you visit her blog, you will be amazed at the memorabilia she uncovers!

Thank you, Jann, for sharing your big Texas Heart!

Teri's new blog "Our Wild Hearts" is up and running - this beautiful heart is one of her first posts.

To see her beautiful photography, you should also check out her main blog "Teri H. Hoover Photography".

Than you, Teri, for again sharing your wild hearts!

While Sunny over at "Barnyard and Barnacles" was waiting for her computer to be repaired, she went out looking for the flowers of May ... and look - she found a heart as well!

Thank you, Sunny, for sharing your heart!

Far away from me in Guatamala, Claudia of "@Claudia" posts delightful photos along with the history of her country and it's unique traditions and customs.

During Holy Week, these beautiful works of art are painstakingly made of sawdust and flowers on local streets and sidewalks - I am in awe of the amazing beauty of these temporary masterpieces!

Thank you, Claudia, for sharing your Guatemala ... and your heart!

Suzi over at "Spirit Whispers" recently hosted the "Festival of Trees". Her delightful story of friends and rescuers of the world's forests (including links to many beautiful lovers of trees!) is beautifully written, with equally delightful photos as accents.

It was perfect timing for Suzi to post this picture ... with the beautiful tree scar heart ... in celebration of trees!

Thank you, Suzi, for hosting this wonderful Festival ... and for sharing your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

My lovely nieces Jenna and Tiffi spent a few days of their Spring Break here at the house. Much fun was had!

I was awed when both of them started showing me the hearts they found ... right here. Hearts I live with, but didn't even see!!!

Like this old broken and rusty chainsaw chain that was left on the fireplace.

Thank you, Tiffi and Jenna, for sharing your hearts.
Thank you Tiffi for finding this one!

"Halcyon Travels" is an amazing place where Halcyon posts pictures taken from travels around the globe.

Recently, Halcyon posted this delicate and beautiful white orchid.
Do you see the beautiful green pastel hearts?

Thank you, Halcyon, for sharing your travels ... and your hearts!

Dani is one of my adopted 'sisters-of-different-mothers'. We will probably never meet in person, but I still consider her part of my family!

Dani is from Macedonia, but is living and going to school in China. She has two blogs, "Snow Flowers" and "A Lovely Home for Hearts" ... and my day just isn't the same unless she posts one of her beautiful found hearts, or one of her gorgeous photographs.

Thank you, Dani, for being a wonderful friend ... and for sharing your hearts!

Bhavesh Chhatbar is from India, and takes some of the most amazing photos for his "BLOG". He has taught me so much about the beauty, color and history of his country. His wife, Megha, is a gifted artist, and puts into her art the same magic of India that Bhavesh puts into his photos.

Bhavesh holds a special place in my heart ... his was my first posted guest heart ... and was the inspiration for Guest Heart Thursday!

Thank you, Bhavesh and Megha, for sharing your world ... and your hearts!

Sunny over at "Barnyards and Barnacles" is another of my favorite places to visit. Sunny's gifted photography and wry humor bring smiles to my heart.

Do you see the heart(s) on this adorable cow? (Only Sunny could make COWS look ADORABLE!)

Thank you, Sunny, for sharing your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

When Texwisgirl sent me a link to Becky and Gary over at "Woodynook Creations", I could hardly believe my eyes ... Do you see what I see?
Lots and lots of hearts on this beautiful starling they posted for World Bird Wednesday last week!

Thank you Becky and Gary for sharing your hearts,
And thank YOU Texwisgirl for finding them!

Jill's photos always make me smile, especially this one.
A tiny critter had trudged through the sand, leaving it's heart behind!

Thank you, Jill, for sharing your heart ... and for having one of the most unique blog names around - "Count Your Chicken! We're Taking Over!"

Sunny over at "Barnyard and Barnacles" makes me smile with every post. She leads a busy life, and has been looking for hearts for a while.

I have a surprise for Sunny ... there are hearts in unexpected places ... if you look close enough!
Do you see the hearts in Sunny's picture?
Check the wing of the bee ...
And the petals of the flower ...
They may be faint, but they are there!!!

Thank you, Sunny, for brightening my days, and for sharing your heart!

Tammie Lee's photography is some of the best I've ever seen. Her blog "Spirithelpers" combines this photography with poetry that makes me smile ... and sometimes even brings me to tears. I appreciate her so much!

You don't have to look very hard to find the heart in this shot, but it may take you a while simply because you will probably become lost in the rugged beauty of this mountain!

Thank you, Tammie Lee, for sharing your heart!

Tammie Lee has another side ... we know she is a wonderful photographer, and a gifted writer ... well she is also an amazing ARTIST!!!

Check out Tammie Lee's art at her blog "Beauty Flows".
Because beauty DOES flow here, you will see!

Thank you, Tammie Lee, for sharing your heart!

PLEASE THANK A VETERAN ... NOT JUST TODAY, BUT EVERY DAY!

Pamela took her blog - Dum Spiro Spero - where no blog I have seen has been before ... Cupcake Camp ... where the cupcake creations looked delicious. And thanks a lot, Pamela. I think I gained 5 pounds just looking at the pictures!!!

And look at that teeny little heart Pamela found on that cupcake in the front. No wonder I missed it - I was too busy drooling over these awesome S'more cupcake creations!!!

Thank you, Pamela, for sharing your heart ... and your cupcakes!

My day is not complete until I've read what Costas has posted from Greece.
His photos and stories, histories, documentations are the best I've seen. Anywhere. When you visit his blog, Nature Digital, be sure to enlarge his photos. They turn from beautiful to incredible with one magical click.

Costas has been featuring a hotel he stayed at for a time - and look what he found! The beautiful and delicate chairs ... are hearts as well.

Thank you, Costas, for sharing your heart ... and your wonderful country.

Cheryl sees this misty heart tree on her way to work every day.
She finally was able to get a shot of it!

Cheryl is in the final stretch of her year-long commitment to photograph and post something every day. Check out her efforts in her blog March to March.

Thank you, Cheryl, for the inspiration you've been to me - and for sharing your heart!

Sunny's blog Barnyards and Barnacles is one I treasure.
She takes ordinary life on the farm and in the country ... and brings beauty and amusement home to us all.

Sunny found this PERFECT heart on a board she was getting ready to paint.
I just know it was put there for her to share here!!!

Thank you, Sunny, for sharing your heart!

Gemma, over at Greyscale Territory ... what can I say.
She amazes me with how she sees the world - how much beauty she finds.

Gemma is from Australia, and posted this beautiful heart in honor of Armistice Day.
A perfect way for us ALL over the world to remember our VETERANS.

Thank you, Gemma, for sharing this beautiful and sobering heart.

Sunny at Barnyards and Barnacles found this gorgeous white flower, but wasn't sure it qualified as a heart ...

Sunny! It's a HEART!
A beautiful heart of dripping white flowers!

Thank you so much for sharing it, Sunny!

I can't say enough how Susannah of Wanderin' Weeta inspires me. She sees the amazing, and the tiny life around her, as well as the unusual and different.

Thank you, Susannah, for sharing your heart ...
And your world ...
And your inspiration!

And look what Dani found on her breakfast pancake. A heart!
Dani has a new blog, A Lovely Home For Hearts.
I LOVE it!!!

Thank you, Dani, for sharing this heart.
And for being a heart seeker.

Jann of Bouquet of Tulle Roses celebrated a special event this week.
Her 20th Anniversary!
Check out this wonderful picture of Jann and Mr. Tulle Roses.

You see ... hearts are everywhere.
But mostly they are INSIDE our OWN hearts ...
Full of love and commitment.

Thank you, Jann, my wonderful beach-buddy friend, for sharing your heart.
Happy Anniversary!

Sunny at Barnyards and Barnacles takes the most adorable pictures of farm animals you can imagine. So it doesn't surprise me that this adorable sheep was showing off it's new haircut ... complete with HEART!

And who doesn't adore Miss Cindy Lou Who - all curled up in a heart at Squirrel Queen's awesome blog - Through Squirrel Eyes.

Limar, whose fun and interesting blog is called Greetings From My Replicator, found this beautiful and quiet garden spot, with a heart that perfectly matches the beautiful yellow roses!

It would be a wonderful and peaceful place to sit and read a book, I think.

Jennifer loves goats. Her blog, Goats in the Garden is delightful!
She sent me a picture of this adorable goat ... SPF Chance’s Hopeful Heart. (“Heart” for short).
Isn't he appropriately named???

Dani at Snow Flowers found this beautiful heart in the handle of her cup.
I really like the way she caught the reflection that makes up the smaller half of the heart.
Dani continually amazes me with her eye for beauty, and her fun blog.

Thank you all!
