love thursday: and suddenly, a heart appears

I always marvel at those of you who share your images for Love Thursday here, and comment, "I didn't even notice the heart when I took the picture."  That never happens to me!  If I take a picture of a heart, boy-howdy, I notice it.  It never magically appears.

Until this week.

I was looking through some old photographs I took when I was living in my homeland of Trinidad & Tobago (I'm feeling a bit homesick these days), and I came across the shot above, taken about 2-1/2 years ago.  This little cabin is in the small fishing village of Grand Riviere, on the north shore of Trinidad.  Grand Riviere happens to be the nesting ground of giant leatherback turtles, and every year my husband, daughter and I would make the 2 hour drive to this little cabin, so that we could walk out to the beach after dark and watch these huge animals lumber onto the beach and lay their eggs, before returning to the ocean.  It is one of my favourite memories of life in Trinidad, and one of my favourite spots.  I love this picture.

But it was only this week that I noticed the light in the upper right hand corner of this image was in the shape of a heart.

How positively fitting.

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Please leave your links of love in the comments below, and be sure to check out these hearts that seemed to magically materialize in the images left by Snowfire11Ro and mainemomma2007 in the ShutterSisters Flickr pool.  

And may love suddenly appear in your lives today.

Trinidad looks like a wonderful place to come home to! Here's a heart that appeared for the second that I clicked the shutter:

My husband returns today from a week on the east coast. Love will magically reappear in my life in a matter of hours.

I emailed him the link to Shutter Sisters today, so that he can browse on the plane back to me. :)

These pictures were taken the day hurricane Ike came through Houston and Galveston. Like all big life-changing events, near misses and traumas, it really makes you think about what matters most and for most of us that would be our kids and family. This family is just like that- full of what matters most.

Thanks!

Shoji and I spent a night at Acajou in April this year. It was his first time turtle watching. It was fabulous. I love watching the giant leather backs come up to nest and I love this hotel, it will be regular rotation when we go home to visit from now on.

Karen - I'm starting to believe that hearts just appear whenever and wherever you get your camera out.

I'm crushing on my husband on this Love Thursday!

Houses and cars are expensive and not everybody can buy it. Nevertheless, <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/credit-loans">credit loans</a> are invented to support people in such cases.

It's understandable that money can make us independent. But how to act if someone doesn't have cash? The only one way is to get the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/credit-loans">credit loans</a> or just car loan.
