342. Don't Burn Bridges

graffiti, park Hayarkon, Tel Aviv

Today a new friendship began with an old friend. Moments later I found this new heart graffiti on this old bridge.

Sometimes, even a relationship with lots of love can grow into a new and different love if you take the time and effort.

Asi's heart would love for others to help bring Gilad Shalit home. To sign the petition and find out more http://www.habanim.org/en/atzuma1_en.html

297. Cupid

chalk on sidewalk, Park Hayrkon, Tel Aviv

These hearts which have been pierced with Cupid's arrow are in love, and are taken in all different directions - This is what makes love so exciting, wonderful and terrifying at the same time.

These hearts warn us and dare us to take the plunge.

These hearts would love for others to support the Jewish Agency in helping to transform the lives of children at risk in Israel http://www.jafi.org.il/projects/risk.htm

110. The Path to Love

reflection of bridge detail on wooden path, Park Hayarkon, Tel Aviv

The bridge detail which is reflected on this path was used in an earlier post (see 'Being', March 12, 2009), however today I captured it from a different perspective. When we choose to look at love from new perspectives it can shed alot of light.

As I walked on this path I felt myself in a fairy tale.

105. Kissed by a Heart

Hugo's tongue, Park Hayarkon, Tel Aviv

Today after work I went with Hugo to the park. After polishing off a very yummy halva and chocolate oreo cookie ice-cream I lay back on my sheet to relax, when this happy heart suddenly appeared wanting to lick me, (which in dog translates to kiss) - Could anyone ask for more?

It took some effort to recreate the kiss, and capture this heart on camera. In the process I was cracking up laughing by myself, or so I thought - When I finally sat up I discovered I was very much not alone in the park. Oh well, this happy loyal heart is definitely worth a little embarrassment.

Hugo would love for others to contribute to SOS Pets Association http://www.sospets.co.il/16641/_About_SOS_Pets_Association

18. Tree of Life

Carving on tree, Park Hayarkon, Tel Aviv

Perhaps we are not immortal, but the love we find never dies.

This heart will forever be etched in time. I wonder what happened to Zohar and Sarah.

Help maintain Israel's green spaces by purchasing a tree in honor of someone you love https://secure2.convio.net/jnf/site/Ecommerce?store_id=3181&VIEW_DEFAULT=true&FOLDER=&TYPE=Tree%20Certificates&NAME=
