Hearts All Around - Part 5

Ok, here it is, the last installment of the Valentine Series! I've had great fun discovering heart-shaped designs and I'll probably keep looking for them.
These two images are my favorite.
First up: A 1931 topographic map section of Cades Cove in the Smoky Mtn's Nat'l Park. Note the heart shaped contour line to the west of Whistling Gap. Cool! I discovered this a few weeks ago while doing trail research and actually it is what inspired me to begin this little project.

And finally: You may think this is a stretch, but it looks like a little heart to me! A heart with a little face. Although I could be influenced by the superluv I have for him, and what could be more appropriate on Valentine's Day than that :-)
He's sitting on my shoulder supervising as I type.

I hope you've enjoyed the series, thanks for following!

Peepin' Peeper

Here's Bob (aka The Peeper) looking out our bathroom window. He's discovered he likes to have a little peek outside! But he has a very short attention span and his interest fades after a couple minutes.

About a week ago, we were both standing there watching a snow flurry when the local crow flock flew over on their daily roosting trek around 5pm.

Peeper was mezmerized! He watched them all go by, a couple hundred in total, then looked at me as if to say, "what the heck was that?!"
If only I'd had the camera handy then..... *sigh*


By the way, he's 26 this year.
Sho' nuff.
