I took this photo last summer and have been saving it for Valentine's Day!
A couple more Valentines from Mother Nature below.
I didn't take these (a friend emailed them to me) but they are very beautiful.
A reef off the coast of Australia:

A mangrove forest on New Caledonia in the South Pacific:

And for some nice man-made Valentine's, check out these Vintage Valentine's Cards on Wikipedia Commons.
Happy Valentine's Day! ♥ ♥ ♥
And February Bloggers, we're halfway there! Woo hoo!

Lovely photos, Annie -- I can't believe you found heart-shaped clover!
Interesting cards, too! Some so cute, and serious fossils in there as well. Thanks for finding these!

I love the "nature valentines". Amazing what one can find when one becomes more observant.
Great post!

Very cool photos, Annie!! I see you've learned the heart icon too! I must admit I think it is very neat and I find myself sticking hearts everywhere, on my blog, on facebook, etc! Have a great day! ♥

Very cool photos, Annie. I once meet a woman who collected heart shaped rocks, but I've never seen a photo collection before. Loved it.
