Love Thursday: April 3, 2008

600_040208.jpg

As some of you know, Irene Nam and I started Love Thursday on our own personal blogs about 18 months ago, long before it found its home here on Shutter Sisters.  And while I don't think my daughter, Alex, exactly knows what Love Thursday is, it's certainly been a large percentage of her 4-year-old life that I've been searching for images or symbols of love to photograph each week.  It appears she's been bitten by the bug:  she's been finding heart shapes everywhere.  Yesterday, we were lying down on our patio, and she pointed out a heart-shaped cloud.  This past weekend, she found a tiny heart-shaped leaf that she placed on my knee for a second, before it blew away.  And just last week, as we were taking a walk in our neighbourhood, she found a heart-shaped splat of bird poop.

Be happy I shared this photograph of a found rock in my parents' back yard, instead.

 Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  As always, please leave links to your images of love in the comments section below.  Also, for inspiration, be sure to check out the images left by PhotoMom86 and camera shy momma in our Flickr Pool. 

And may you see images of love everywhere today.

Thanks for hosting! Your heart rock will have me out looking now. Like searching for 4-leaf clovers. Here's my contribution:

Thank you so much for Love Thursday. I think it is awesome.

We watched our friends' kids over the weekend so they could get away. They hadn't gone away overnight in 11 years! This is a picture I took of our girls together.

Here's mine-- about loving some quiet time "amid the noise and the haste."

It's really sweet that she's searching for heart shapes too.

I too have been seeing them everywhere since I discovered this site. Yesterday I found a heart shape in my mom's favourite flower:

Oh, that is funny about the bird poop. My husband is getting into the swing of it, too. In fact, that was my post today!

I just found this site via Superhero and I've never participated in this challenge, but I've been so so into hearts this year that I have created hearts everywhere, this post is about that if anyone is interested:

I didn't even realized that this was hear-shaped until I looked at the photo later that day.
