Hearts and Hands

Sometimes, something catches my eye as I wander through my photo albums on the computer.  Sometimes I am looking for something; at other times, just scrolling through...

I noticed this past week, that I saw quite a few hearts and hands, all in different places and wondered how many I had collected over the years.

After quite an extended scroll through, here's a selection of hearts and hands.

A heart sculpture at the Noguchi Museum in Queens, NY.


Hand print in Kyoto, Japan


Heart glyph left by larvae in bark near Landsbouroough (just down the hill from us here)


A handprint from Umbakumba on Groote Island.


A heart shaped leaf at Alyangula on Groote Island


A hand print at the State Library of Victoia in Melbourne


A heart-shaped wearing away of Uluru.


Hand carved into rock at Reconciliation Place, Canberra.


A heart-shaped screening wall in Singapore.


A handprint at Pirlangimpi on Melville Island.


As I began titling the photos I realised how (unintentionally) they tell a story of travel, of other places, of different people - yet in each and every place I have found hearts and hands. Joining us I hope.

    1. What I loved most J was that I had not done it at all intentionally - and yet here they were appearing time and again. I think they make a lovely combo, and expect i will now keep an active eye out on our travels...
