As I was going through the Shutter Sisters Flickr pool, I couldn’t help but notice the stunning shot you see above by Nicky Thomas. But what sealed the deal for me were her comments:
This is a weeny pebble given to me by daughter Nr 1 for mother’s day. I love it.
It sits in my pocket and my fingers find it without thought. I trace its contours with my fingertips and it soothes me.
Although i love its warmth and smoothness, i also love the tiny imperfection on one side. I am drawn to it.
Sometimes it takes a tiny flaw to make you realise how perfect the rest of love can be.

Happy Love Thursday, everyone. Please leave your links to your images and words of love in the comments section, below. And may we all, like Nicky, take time to realize how perfect love can be — despite the flaws.

Hold on John , John Hold on
It’s gonna be alright
You gonna win the fight
Hold on Yoko , Yoko hold on
It’s gonna be alright
You gonna make the flight
When you’r by yourself
And there’s no-one else
You just tell yourself
To hold on
Hold on world , world hold on
It’s gonna be alright
You gonna see the light
When you’re one
really one
You get things done
like they’ve never been done
So hold on
-John Lennon "Hold On"

My hubby & I celebrated our 25th Anniversary in Maui this summer. Seeing this sign made me smile, and was the perfect thing to sum up our trip. Happy Love Thursday.

My Love Thursday photo happened on a perfect summer afternoon. We were on vacation at the ocean and my husband, my kids, and myself were lazing around on the dock – some of us fishing, some getting ready to ride the boat. I looked out over the harbour, and saw something red floating past. As it got closer, I realized it was a heart-shaped balloon.

My first Love Thursday post! ๐
This weekend, I’m off to my home province of NB for a weekend visit. My sister and I are taking off for our 3rd Annual Sisters-on-a-Road-Trip! I can’t wait to fill my lungs with the salty air… and to enjoy the music that is my family.
Happy Love Thursday, Friends!

My daughter called me over
to a sunny patch in the backyard.
This sunlight heart had filtered through the oak tree
and caught her attention. She wanted me to photograph it
for Love Thursday. With a bit of brightening and contrasting
in photoshop and Picnik, you can really see it shine!

Boy and his bunny – a love story. What I most love is his expression in this shot. Makes him look totally innocent (ha ha – are any three-year-old boys totally innocent?).

‘the rest of love’
does not
have to shine
or be perfect,
it only
has to be there
always.

My dear Uncle Bobby has always run the family farm with his two sisters. He loves that farm, and he loves those animals. I visited this summer and took this picture of him and his dog. It was taken on full auto before I knew my camera, but I wanted to honor him and his love for his animals on Love Thursday, as tonight is almost certainly his last night on this earth. It wouldn’t surprise me if his last words were asking my aunt if she checked on the cows before bed…
