« love thursday: reminders of love »

I walked down to the end of my street yesterday to grab a few shots of this tree that's in full bloom -- and this particular image, for whatever reason, reminded me of love.  So I thought I'd share it with you today.

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Please leave links to your images or stories of love in the comments section, below.

And may something beautiful make you think of love today.

Sigh. We had a snow/ice storm yesterday, so my world is decidedly white, grey, and sand-brown. Thank you for posting such lovely and delicate color today; I'm going out into the cold with a little hopefulness as a result.

So envious of all of you in the warm weather! Here's a little winter 'love':

Happy Love Thursday everyone! I am loving where I live right now, even though I am constantly dreaming of places to go (Africa, New Zeland, Japan...) today my neighborhood seems pretty wonderful.

what a lovely bloom of color K.

My sunsets. I just can't get enough of them. Or sunrises. Reminds me that the sun always rises.

What a lovely reminder that color is waiting for us underneath all the cold and dreariness!

This week I focused on how love sometimes means you have to be strong and a "big meanie." Thank goodness for kisses and hugs, or I'd rethink this whole parenting thing!

Oh how I long for delicate blooms right now ... we have gobs of snow and ice instead. *sigh*
