4-Ever!

You're Sweet

I started with one of my original roses in the sky photos. I then used software to draw roses and sample a color from the roses to use for the hearts. Then I added bubbles to reflect the roses and hearts.

My Heart crys out to you in multiple wasys and full of colorful feeling about you.

I left my heart carved in the tree at Brookdale Park, just for you.... Joe ~N~ Lee 4-9-4

I left my heart painted on the stone steps for you.... taken in Boonton, NJ at the stone steps down to Grace Lord Park. I did not see this heart when I took the photo originally, when working on the photo my eyes were drawn to that spot - a heart of love preserved in stone...

I left my heart protected by an angel til I can join you in heaven. I found this unusual angel and heart at the Laurel Grove cemetery. I both like it and don't like it - no other stone or angel like this one. I call it the terracotta angel... This heart was left for their mother by her children. I must admit the love I have had for my children is greater than any other earthly love I know.

My heart belongs to you and is overflowing with energy of love,which lights up the world.

This beautiful ornament was given to us for Christmas.

Kids picked this out for Mom. They thought the tulips looks nicer then roses this year.

They made one mistake when they made the writing. I'm sure you can figure it out. This is our Valentine tradition.

a very big heart

my daughter made this in primary school, and it has a very special place on my XMAS tree, every year

The background photo is a photo I took in a fountain and the collage is made with Shape Collage Maker with photos of Chloe my 16 yr old Shih Tzu.

Chloe is 16 yrs old and she is the light of my life. This was done online at 'Phixr' where you upload your photo to the chosen frame/greeting card, with the text added at the same site.

May you see God's light on the path ahead when the road you walk is dark. May you always hear, Even in your hour of sorrow, The gentle singing of the lark. When times are hard may hardness Never turn your heart to stone, May you always remember when the shadows fall— You do not walk alone. ~ Irish Blessing

I found these heart badges amongst my mother's jewellery when packing up her things recently as she has gone into care.

Actually I think it is wine holder. Got it at a thrift shop. Could also be a valentine in the snow. Maybe I'll try to find some colorful wine bottles to put into the slots. Actually I did, they are in the next shot in the album.

Many hosta have heart shaped leaves, but this one has the name.

Wind chimes work well on it.

The "Sentiero dell'Amore" is a walking path that connects the two little villages of Rio Maggiore and Manarola in the 5 Terre national Park. The trail is very dramatic and romantic, that's why it has been given this name. Many couples came here to swear their love, enriching the path of love graffiti and padlocks, whose keys are thrown in the sea, as to state their love will live forever.

Foil candy hearts in the shape of a heart

Ponderosa pine with heart and love. This is well off the beaten path. I was surprised to find this while randomly walking in the woods.

I tried tossing hearts in the air and photographing them against a wall, but kept getting one or two and hated the way the wall looked. So I combined several shots and put them against the sky.

I did a bordered version I like better, but it breaks the CC rules.

AH!!!!!! He is sleeping on the job. This was taken last January as I was finishing up creating fabric Valentine cards for our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Snow in the corckscrew hazel shrub melted into a heart shape.

Bleeding Hearts - Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis)

I only had a few hearts so, I colored this heart mandala.

I found this heart in the forest, this was an Elm tree. It had been severly damaged in an ice storm 3 years ago, it never could recover so the last noble feat is to be warmth in the fireplace, sad when it leaves a heart as a reminder in the woods.

Looks like the Tinman found a heart.

I thought it would be fun to play with the word love in the dictionary, and this is what I came up with. Nikon D300, Sigma 18-250mm lens, 1/4's @ f/9.5, -1.33, ISO 200, 44mm. Light source is a single LED at a 30 degree angle. Best viewed larger.

My lovable Chipoo Noel has a heart shape patch on his back.

A spring rain shower had just ended which added the water droplets. A large dark boulder in the garden provided the dark background. Extension tubes with a telephoto zoom lens provided the macro enlargement and narrow depth of field.

The Bleeding Heart is one of my favorite flowers. So I was very happy to see them in our local botanic garden.

When I saw the challenge, hearts I just couldn't resist. Along with my passion for photography I love to bake. So I made this decadent, melt in your mouth chocolate cake with a rich ganache frosting and a fresh raspberry glaze. All sprayed with an edible gold. And what's a heart without a fresh scented rose? Enjoy!
