The Year is Winding Down

There is less than one month left for me to chronicle the hearts in my day.

I have been very lax lately in recording them; this time of year is hectic and stressful. I have been seeing hearts as usual, but it has been difficult to give them more attention than a loving acknowledgment of their presence. That is okay; I have spent the year recording some particularly amazing hearts, and have shared many many of them here.

These are some of my most recent sightings.

Posting Some Hearts I Have Collected

Hearts Update

I have managed to photograph a few lately. Accuracy is a little off, although I love the first picture. Enjoy~

These tail lights were distinctly hearts to the naked eye, although they did not translate as such. The one on the right is kind of the way it looked to me, but more defined.

The tiny white spot between the green bush and the tree was definitely a heart.

What I Have Learned

Watching hearts and chronicling them to share on this blog has made me aware of some things. Some hearts are not meant to be shared, for one.

Sometimes, there is no choice about not sharing: I have literally spotted a heart, my eyes magically locking on the shape in a tree branch or a cloud, only to watch it melt away before my eyes. Or, having been distracted momentarily, I look back to discover it gone; even having nothing change in the leaves, branches or whatever formed it in the first place.  I have seen them in negative spaces, form three-dimensionally, using foreground and background to become.

 Sometimes I feel they should be kept private, just for my viewing. I spot them when I am with my daughter, and I always point them out to her with no self-consciousness. But sharing them on this blog - sometimes I wonder, is that REALLY a heart?

I have come to believe there are kindred souls out there who share my experiences. No, we are not mistaken; hearts present themselves to us every day.

I remember that even if it is not quite a heart, I remember the message: that I am loved.

No Time for Hearts :(

Yes, it has been ridiculously distracting in all aspects of my life, that hearts have been seen, noted, but not always photographed.

I think that is a good thing, actually.

These are hearts I have collected when I was able to put heart + camera = picture for my blog together, so enjoy~

A Few Hearts to Share

Catching Up

They Were Saved from the White Screen of Death!

I had some really nice hearts on my camera before it suffered its demise, and woefully thought they were lost. I checked the memory card again, and they were there!

These are the last photos my camera took, and I happily share them with you.

I have borrowed a camera, and in the meantime can continue to chronicle hearts until I get a new camera.
