Hearts are always in season, but they are everywhere during Valentines. The more challenging challenge would be finding heart in nature, people, expressions. Looking forward to seeing your creative heart.

(And JudyJ, thank you for hosting the "fun" challenge with all those new little puppy hearts needing your love, affection and attention)

Some hearts...

I did not take this one - friend sent it to me - it was so unusual, I had to post it. (It's a watermelon and I would love watch someone do this)

I have a few things in mind for tomorrow. I really like your examples, especially the first one.

All beautiful captures, especially #1, love the contrast with the wall. :D

I have found three hearts in nature in my archives and this topic is indeed a challenge.
My first hearts found in nature go back to 2006 when I found this Calico Pennant Dragonfly and I have not found this unbelievable beautiful species again. I could not believe my eyes when I saw this heart decorated dragonfly!
The male Hairy Woodpecker does not always exhibit a heart-shaped red patch on the back of its head but this one did when feeding at a peanut feeder in Bird Alley one day.
And if it were violet season, the Purple Violet has wonderfully heart-shaped leaves as did this patch of little Northern White Violets on my side lawn.

Thank you, Sylvias. Ironically it was on a wall of a hospital's entrance to the Cardiac Care unit. Rather appropriate...
