Beach hearts

One of the things I really enjoy at the beach is finding heart-shaped stones, bits of shells, and pieces of pottery or sea glass. 

Like my love of collecting sea glass, my interest in hunting for hearts started on the Cinque Terre in Italy, where I first found a heart-shaped stone by the side of a path, then seemed to see heart and star shapes in various different places. 

Sometimes I take my heart-shaped finds home, but recently I’ve started to "collect" them by just taking photos of some of them.
