Love Thursday Featured Fotographer: Miss LA

"Heart!" by Miss LA

As you know, I love a good found heart -- and this one, by Miss LA stopped me in my tracks.  There's nothing like heart-shaped light and shadow to stir the soul.  Well done!

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  I'm feeling particularly great today, because today is the first day of my commitment to follow my calling in an artistic life.  Sort of like finding my own heart for the first time.

Please leave your links to your images of love in the comments below.  And if you haven't already, may you find your heart very, very soon.

Not the greatest photo--but it's been a very busy week!

We found heartshaped light as well! But in the shape of each other standing on either side of a candelabra.
Happy Love Thursday

Karen, bravo and a standing ovation to you for following your artistic soul!
I too love your selection of a found heart.

My Love Thursday offering this week isn't a found heart unless you count the two hidden hearts of these young sisters as a moment found:

What a beautiful image from Miss LA!

Here is my link to love, the second photo in the post. It's of my sweet girl and her very loved pet that we had to have put to sleep this past weekend.

sometimes love just happens to be simply at your feet - should you be willing to see it.

So, my Love Thursday post is dedicated to my husband's love for my... uh, quirkiness. You'll see me dressed up in some of my Halloween outfit baking for friends...

I love this time of year! While there's no heart seen in this one, it reminds of God's love for us -- just look around at what he/she has created!
