Harvesting Hearts

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

14th Dalai Lama

Time to harvest some hearts.

First of all, some monochrome hearts. This is one of my favourites, spotted by our son in a manhole in Donegal. So romantic!

A foot print in the Jardin du Luxembourg.

Another romantic one, a chewing gum heart.


A weeping heart.


Now for a little colour. A giant love lock. I'm curious to know what the barcode would reveal. 'Made in China' perhaps?


A surprise heart inside a butternut squash.


Mosaic hearts hidden within a mosaic work of art up in Belleville, Paris.


A simple pink heart.


A bold pink heart at the end of the Villa des Tulipes, Paris.


Small red hearts.

Bigger red hearts.

Heart gathering season

The way is not in the sky. 

The way is in the heart. 

(Buddha)

'Tis the heart gathering season again. Here are some monochrome ones I found.

This is an accidental heart.


A scribbled red heart.


A blue heart. In the Bois de Boulogne.


One edible heart.


Two edible hearts.

Edible red.


A gift from the tooth fairy.


Gifts from nature.



Happy Valentine's Day.

More hunted hearts can be found here and here.
