11 Awesome Photos of Heart-Shaped Leaves

by on 24 June 2010 in Photos/Graphics

When we think of leaves we don’t normally think of the extraordinary. Leaves are so ubiquitous and uniform that they don’t usually attract our attention. Flowers do, but not leaves.

However the following photos will persuade you to see leaves on a different, more beautiful light. Nature has shaped these leaves in a way that will make you think of love, truth and beauty. These leaves can teach us a valuable lesson – to always open our hearts, alert our senses and notice the little things even if they are as commonplace and familiar as leaves – because there is beauty everywhere.

    The love of nature is expressed through the ordinary parts of creation….we, humans, need to understand the language of nature…it now the opputune time to hear Mother Earth and tell other human what we heard……

    it’s so unusual for us to get attracted with a leaves. but for some other reason these leaves is meant to be heart shape, not just to catch our attention. but for us to learn to appreciate all the small creatures that GOD has made……….
    thanks Father Bob and hope you wll continue to inspire people….

    The fotos speak for themselves. We all can learn a lot by observing the lessons nature itself is teaching us. Go on with your beautiful apostolate.

    I am in great awe of God’s wonderful creation! You are right, Fr. Stephen, there is beauty everywhere. But oftentimes we don’t recognize it because we are so blinded by unnecessary preoccupations. Thank you for the lovely photos that speak of love and beauty:)
