Take 5: All Heart

Love is in the air this Valentine’s season…and in the rocks and the trees, and everywhere else! If you’re following this blog, it’s probably safe to assume you love nature as much as we do here at Mass Audubon. And what better way to show our passion than with the ultimate symbol of love: a heart!

Courtesy of our annual Picture This: Your Great Outdoors photo contest, here are five photos of hearts found or fashioned in nature to celebrate how much we love the nature of Massachusetts, from the beaches to the mountains and from forests to fields. Happy Valentine’s Day!
