I often think found-heart photos are rather cheesy, but it’s really hard NOT to capture one when you come upon one unawares! Especially in a week when a friend’s father died of Covid and you think the friend would find comfort in such an image.
I actually get a kick out of my found-heart photos, and turn them into valentine cards. This one is unique, and you know it's not going to last very long, which makes it even more special. My condolences to your friend; this is a nice tribute.
It would be totally WRONG not to photograph this wonderful little surprise! It's beautiful and I'm certain your friend will appreciate it. My own heart to her...
