After seeing this week’s challenge of hearts, I knew that I wanted to do something a little different. When we headed out to the desert, I decided to look for hearts in nature. It was fun to see how many hearts I found when I was actually looking. Munchkin got excited by what I was finding, so she joined in on the hunt for hearts.
Stick Heart
I found these sticks resting just like this under a bush.
Heart Made of Stones
Munchkin and I put this one together just for fun.
Stone Heart
After I found this heart shaped rock, we went on to find several more stone hearts.
Munchkin collected them to bring home for her rock garden.
Leaf Heart
When Munchkin saw this leaf in the shape of a heart, she was pleasantly surprised.
We don’t have many leaves around here, so finding a heart shaped one was exciting.
Heart Hole
I started seeing hearts everywhere as I walked along.
There were multiple holes that looked like hearts to me.
What do you think? Does it look like a heart to you?
Footprints in a Heart
I found this set of footprints in a dry wash that made a heart shape.
Because I couldn’t get them to show up in the pictures, I drew a heart around the shape.
Fence Wire Heart
I found this heart shaped fence wire on an old shelter in the middle of the desert.
Twine Heart
The heart shaped twine was on the ground near the old shelter.
I hope you enjoyed joining us on our tour of hearts from the desert. We had a blast looking for hearts in nature. I’m constantly amazed at the wonderful things we find when we go out exploring.

WOW! very creative – well done
I love this Foto Friday, I love photography, I am going to try for it this week.
Wow! It is so amazing what you found in the desert. When I go outside all I see for as far as one can see is a blanket of white and NO hearts at all. I really loved how you found all your entries in the wild.. great job!
Oh, this is a fun blog…. and I love the hearts that you found. How cool!
I entered a photo, even tho’ it didn’t actually fit the challenge of having been taken within the week…. but it is a favorite of mine.
I. LOVE. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Really, I can’t pick a favorite, I want to frame them all and have a heart wall now, and I’m not the most “heartsy” person!
These are all so cool. How fun to search nature for hearts. My favorites were the twig heart and the wire heart. Great job!!!
Cute pictures! I’m following you from Friday Follow!

You certainly found a lot of hearts! I like the stone heart best.
Wow. I never would have thought you would find so many natural heart shapes! Good job for keeping eyes and mind open. I couldn’t believe those holes were just naturally made and you didn’t do them! That’s amazing!
Your photos are wonderful!! You obviously have an artist’s eye–I’ve seen leaves like that all my life and never once realized they are heart-shaped.
This post reminds me of a photographer (I think in Canada?) who traveled all around taking photos of naturally occuring shapes that look like letters of the alphabet and then puts them together to spell words and makes framed prints. You could definitely do some kind of photo collage with your shots and make a great and unique piece!
I punched heart shaped holes in a piece of black construction paper and taped to the end of a flash light. One of those crazy things I think up while washing dishes!

Hi Heather,
I love your heart photos. They are really creative and interesting. Where did you get your Foto Friday Challenge from? If the information was in the post, I must have missed it (I will go look again).
Blessings

That is very cool. I love the twigs and the boot prints. I DO SEE the heart shape in the prints. Neato. It’s amazing how much you notice when you really are focused and I LOVE the desert.
