A pink flyer stapled to a tagged wood utility pole with a brightly multicoloured mural covered siding wall and curb in an alley lane behind. The flyer is a black ink graphic of a crying skull with heart-shaped eyeholes and a corded rotary telephone receiver up to its ear and mouth. The voice in the receiver is saying "confess your yearning" under the skull is the words FOR I HAVE YEARNED, and under that is "a night of poetry"

On a concrete brick-paved sidewalk, a purple transparent plastic dog poop bag covered in little purple hearts and probably filled with dog poop. There's a red and white arrow sticker on it.

January 2026 - a wonderful Summer's day presents itself at the off-season ski field below Taranaki Maunga (Mt Egmont). He's slumbering now; no snow mantle on his shoulders. Across the blue of the sky, wispy streaks of cloud dance. Off to the right, a cloud-shape heart drifts into view of the summit. In the foreground of the shot, dots of people sprinkle the lower slope of green grass and shrubs. A wooden bench takes in the magnificent view along with us trampers (having an alpine picnic out of frame, as one does) :-) From the wiki: "Mount Taranaki (Māori: Taranaki Maunga), officially Taranaki Maunga and also known as Mount Egmont, is a dormant stratovolcano in the Taranaki region on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island.[5][6][7] At 2,518 metres (8,261 ft), it is the second highest mountain in the North Island, after Mount Ruapehu."

A tiny brown heart in the form of a small piece of cat food located in the bottom of a yellow plastic measuring cup. Twice daily, I'd feed our Iti girl her dry kibble. We both missed him greatly, and I was trying so hard to keep my spirits up (still do, honestly), to take the best care of her, and of me. Well, #foundhearts have a funny way of sometimes manifesting themselves in the oddest of places, including a just-shy-of-empty measuring cup. It gave me enough of a smile and courage to get through that day. Perhaps silly, yet at times the smallest of simple wonders give one a needed boost. Find what fills your cup, big or smol 💖💜

#foundhearts. In the shallows during low tide near Scott Point, I found a heart etched onto a rust-coloured, heart-shaped piece of old, broken pottery. Hope it's OK I used a little more creative license with my response to your prompt, Nya : )

A Waltmarie poem inspired by #RetroArtPrompt #heartfyre. Black text on white background: sparse branches stretch from my heart PLEASE WAIT thin, and bare, and vulnerable I’M SCARED limbsulated by me for far too long HELP ME may the black sands beneath my feet LIGHT THIS strike a spark within and burn off all my fears ❤️‍🔥HEARTFYRE❤️‍🔥

The ocean naturally formed and gifted me some natural grasses in the intricate shape of a #foundheart. The photo is from one of my many treks on the warm (sometimes quite hot!) black sands of the Auckland area's West Coast beaches. #heartfyre

A steamy rained on window looking out on a back yard, with berries and a few red leaves of an autumn Virginia creeper vine hanging against it. There's also heart-shaped prints from either leaves or previous decorations on the upper left of the pane. There's a blurry picket fence and silhouette of bare tree behind.

Night scene of a large teddy bear lying on alley ground with head propped up against wall of brick building. It's next to a Tangerine rental bike. Businesses in the background are lit up. The corner store is called Smokey's. Above it is a billboard with a smiley face on it.

Colour focus on the only pink items in the image, which are two heart-shaped leaves nestled together in this scene of drying autumn vines growing on landscaping rocks. Removed the colour from the rest of the image.

Sometimes, the universe sends me tiny little hearts. I was careful not to step on it in case it was someone's dream.
