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.

Ah, the beautiful thread and interconnectivity of things.
I have mentioned my project 'love is everywhere' here before.
Funny that I have been at it for about 18 months as well:

sometimes nature throws you a curve that helps to shake the dust off your day and remind you of the love that's all around...

Mine is something I see everyday when I sit to eat in my dining room.

A stop at a wee little state park to add Arkansas to the map of states I've visited. I'd previously left Arkansas off since I hadn't actually stopped to visit anything.

Dedicated to my sister, with whom I had my first Arkansas airport layover.

Here's my contribution, taken last summer. My husband was about to begin his cancer treatment and asked me to take some pictures for the kids -- in case we encountered the worst case scenario, they'd have shots of him healthy to remember him by.

Fortunately, he just completed all treatments and is on the way (we hope) to recovery -- but he no longer looks like this.

My contribution this week is a bit different but still deals with love. Happy Love Thursday!

It is not a photo of a heart, but it captures mine.

On our Date Night this weekend, Honey and I ventured to the spot where we got engaged.

My family went out of town last week and my husband left behind a little bit of love for me to find each day. He is so sweet and I am so lucky.

I pass these trees every morning on my walk and I can't help thinking I am catching them in a very private moment!!

If you are willing to buy a house, you will have to receive the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/business-loans">business loans</a>. Furthermore, my mother all the time utilizes a auto loan, which seems to be the most rapid.
