Found Hearts by Rick Ruggles

Embedded Brick Chip Heart

Sometimes I just have to wonder about myself! This little gem finally got itself noticed after, oh, probably a year of parking right by it. I’m glad it persisted!

Twin Tree Stump Heart

Kind of like they’re spooning. Or conjoined at the hip. Or something of that nature.

Curiously, they faded within a few days of my discovering them. After the tree had been cut down for many weeks.

I like that.

Upside-Down Tulip Heart

In honor of Spring. Which, truth be told, came a bit too early this year.

I don’t mind warm weather, but believe that winter in these parts needs to have a good measure of snow.

On account of all kinds of reasons…

But- here’s the tulip!

Biscuits and Gravy Heart

So I know this one is a little weird! It looks a little like a uvula (you know, that strange little thing that hangs down from the roof of your mouth? For no reason that is apparent to me.

Well this was biscuits and gravy breakfast at Urban Eats, and if I zoomed in on it any more it’d be creepy.

Sawdusty Heart

Oops- I think I deleted this by mistake.

So- here it is again.

Here’s a very flattering profile by my friend Carolyn for an online magazine in Alexandria VA.

She asked me very interesting questions!

Magnolia Blossom

Red Wax Lips Heart

Rick Ruggles — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:20:14 +0000

It took me a minute to figure this one out. Had to stoop down and dig my fingernail into it to verify.

I didn’t sniff it to see if it still had that fruity-perfumy smell.

That would have been going too far….

Water Drop Heart

Rick Ruggles — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:30:06 +0000

A little spill whilst filling the coffeemaker.

Thank you, gravity- you do great work!

Silvery Graffiti Heart

I have no idea of what the artist was trying to say, if it is intended to be readable.

And no idea if they wanted to portray a heart.

Just thought it was a cool one.
