Love Hurts!

This one looks like the head of praying mantis. I highly respect those insects.. used to have some in my room. If there is something important to happens prymantis appear near me in the most strange time and place.
this shadow cacti heart is me favorite one…what a beautiful dualism of light and gentle, transparent darkness darknest of the sharp pain.. like Ormuzd and Ahriman.
Love Hurts! by LensENVY.
I'm constantly snapping photos of heart-shaped cacti (as I live in the desert!) but never post the photos, as most of them aren't fantastic shots. But since Valentine's day is on the horizon, I decided to choose a few of my favorites, and post them as a collage, as a reminder to you all, that sometimes, LOVE HURTS!


...And of course, I have to quote the band Nazareth:

Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain

~Nazareth, 1977

@ Emdot: I feel your pain! That damn song has been in my head for two days now! Hmm...interesting idea- maybe I'll pitch it to the next person who offers me wall space!

Thanks Amy! You could have one for free, if you really wanted one! (seriously!)
