Guest Heart Thursday #175

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

A Place to Share YOUR Heart!

I am so sorry for missing Guest Heart Thursday last week ...

You see, I had a promise to keep to my darling nieces, Tiffi and Jena.

It involved a trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

I was halfway there before I realized why I felt something was missing from my Thursday ... but I knew you would forgive for my very first "miss"!!!

We had a wonderful time at the Aquarium, and saw lots and lots of cool and unique stuff.

But our favorite time came afterward ...

When we got to walk down the beach.

And find hearts.

And more hearts.

And still more hearts!!!

Thank you Victoria, Tiffi and Jena ... for sharing your day. And your hearts.

As always - a huge thank you to all who STILL linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week, even in my absence. I haven't been online since last week, but look forward to seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

 

Would you like to share your heart on Guest Heart Thursday?

Guest Heart Thursday #35

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

Please join me in welcoming back fellow Queen of Hearts - Dani!!!
She has been sorely missed!

Did Bhavesh know he found a heart in this photo? I'm not sure! But he did - do you see the tree heart here?

For those of you who haven't seen the amazing photographs of India taken by Bhavesh on his "BLOG", you really should take a look.

In fact ... I am still smiling with joy because Bhavesh recently won the OlympusPro City Frames Photo Contest!!! His prize is an Olympus mju Tough Camera - that actually takes pictures underwater!!! So when you visit his blog, be sure to congratulate him on his well deserved WIN!

CONGRATULATIONS Bhavesh - I can't wait to see what amazing pictures you take with your new camera. And as always, thank you for sharing your heart, and your India.

Some hearts are well hidden. Do you see the hearts in this picture?
I'll give you a hint ... they're hiding in the feathers of this mourning dove picture taken by Abe, and posted on his blog "My Birds Blog".

Abe has been an inspiration to me since I first found one of his photos ... I hope he will be an inspiration to you as well.

Thank you, Abe, for sharing your heart ... and your amazing life stories. You are awesome.

Sometimes you don't have to search for hearts ... they JUMP right out at you!
Like this stunning glowing cloud heart that Cheryl found. Every time I see this photo I am thrilled anew!

Cheryl has been an inspiration to me since she became my first follower on my first blog (Other than Sissie, of course!). I had no idea what I was doing, and she helped and encouraged me so much. You can visit Cheryl at her blogs "March to March", and "Nostalgia: Today and Yesterday".

Thank you, Cheryl, for your encouragement, your friendship, and for sharing your hearts!

Limar at "My Replicator" posted this picture of a conch (tree fungi). She didn't realize she had also posted a beautiful heart! Do you see it? It's so cute!!!

Thank you, Limar, for sharing your heart.
(And thank you Dani for bringing it to her attention!)

I know she'll probably kill me for posting this one ... but there is a special reason why I wanted to include this ATC (Artists Trading Card) drawn by my daughter Victoria ... and filled with hearts.

You see, tomorrow is her birthday. She and her twin sister Georgia are turning 19.
Wow, has it really been that long?

Thank you, Tori and Geo, for sharing your hearts.
For brightening my life.
For being the heart behind my heart.
I love you - now and forever.

A huge thank you to all who participated in Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the beautiful and amazing hearts you found in your world!

If you have found a heart (or drawn a heart, or designed a heart, or ...), please join us for Guest Heart Thursday. Just link the URL of your heart to Linky!
The link will be open from Thursday morning until Sunday night.

Have you found more than one heart?

Put in more than one link!

Is your heart from a long time ago?

It doesn't matter, as long as you put the direct URL link to that post!

Neighborly Heart

Victoria and I were taking a walk. We had gone nearly a mile when I stopped to take this picture.

"Whatcha taking a picture of, mom?"
"That tree."
"Why? It doesn't have a heart right in the front of it."
"Yes it does."
Giggle.

Yeah, I fell for it.

She can be so much fun!
