Even though the calendar says that spring has arrived, it hasn't felt that way. We have had several snow squalls lately, covering the ground that until recently was buried under two feet of snow. We don't need snowshoes anymore to walk on our favorite trails but boots are still needed as mud is appearing here and there. 
Saturday we took a hike at Ovens Mouth Preserve. It was a blustery and cool day but when in the sun it is so nice. 
In the second photo there appears to be a icy heart on the rocks and in the third photo after zooming in a definite "heart" appears. 
It was a day for spotting nature's hearts, in the tree stump above there is a small heart. 
And a heart appears here on this stump as well as on the log below.
I found a root "heart" as well.
And today while walking on the preserve next door I happened to look back at my house and spotted a snowy heart! So even though it doesn't feel much like spring, Mother Nature has warmed my heart with her beautiful displays of hearts!

What a lovely walk and so many hearts. :)
You have harvested so many hearts.
By the way, I did get one yesterday during my hike.
What a "hearty" day you had...looks like a great place to walk. Enjoy the sunshine, Cheryl.
love it Cheryl.....
Enjoyed the pictures.
You certainly did find many hearts on your walks. Perhaps they are Mother Nature's way of making up for the snow squalls.
spring is just wonderful!
I always love to see your hearts, Cheryl. I think the icy one has a little face in it. Hope you're feeling better and ready for spring.
Your hearts are so much fun to see, Cheryl. I just love the look of your blog. It's very cheery and spring like. You have such a wonderful artistic eye.
fun photos. your black text is difficult to read on the red. don't know if you can change it to white that would help...
Spring is slowly but..steadily coming with the change in weather,in nature and with hopes and promises for the summer.
I greatly admire your perseverence about finding hearts in Nature. Keep on collecting them and taking beautiful pictures !
Hi Cheryl...it sure has been blustery, but I see there was snow in quite a few states this morning!!yuck!!
You and your hearts I can't believe
...you are amazing!!
So happy knowing your are out walking and enjoying the beginning of Spring......:-)Hugs
I love your walks :)
Thanks each and everyone! I am delighted that you enjoy my "hearts", was beginning to worry that maybe I was spending too much time "looking" for hearts and missing out on other things around me! But I am happy that you all enjoy seeing the hearts so will keep on taking photos and sharing! And Lin, I will see what I can do about the color of the text, Ashton set up this beautiful page for me and I will try a darker text.
Love those hearts Cheryl...you have a good eye.
I think of you and wondering how yo are. When i see hearts, I remember you. Got a couple yet to post. Just waiting for the right time.
Hi Cheryl, How you doin'?
Holy Smoke! You are really creative with your camera. I bet you must be kneeling, squatting, lying down to take these really beautiful photos. Outstanding!
I guess you using your flash to get these amazing colours of nature.
Never knew logs can be beautiful when looked at from these angle.
Cheryl, it's like looking at Nat. Geographic!
Have a great week and keep a song in your heart.
Best regards, Lee.
PS. drop by my place when free. L.
Hi Cheryl! I'm sorry I missed this post until just now. I've been terrible at blogging. It's just so hard for me to find the time to give it.
It may be still cold but it sure is pretty. I love the big icy hearts and the root heart too. LOL. Leave it to you to find a root heart. :) I just love your walks!

Hi Cheryl! Love this post and truly love all your pictures of hearts. I told you some time ago that I have a rock in the shape of a heart and I've been wanting to send you the pix, but I think I will do as Ann said above and make a post about my heart-shaped rock. I think of you each day when I walk to my car and see the heart rock smiling up at me.
Spring is so refreshing! Hope the days get warmer soon!
