LOVE HURTS? Looks like cacti above, spotted by gloria P., North Conway, H.H., in Copper Canyon, Mexico, have needled their way into each other's heart.

HEART OF STONE. "We found this rock on our place; it may be the Earth's heart," suggests Loretta D., La Vernia, Texas.

ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU.  "We found this heart-shaped spud in a bag of potatoes," writes Rachel H., Aurora, Col. "It's another curiosity of nature. God's creations never cease to amaze me!"

HEART STUMP.  "You know how folks talk about the heart of a tree?" asks Mary S., Hialeah, Fla. "Well, take a look at this photo. After we helped a neighbor cut down a sea grape tree, we discovered this marking. This tree really did have a heart!"

HEADED FOR ROMANCE.  This calf belongs to Bill and Carole N., Meridian, Miss. "His mom's first calf had a bow tie (or was it a 'beau' tie?) on its head," Carole says.
