A heart-shaped meadow
Now if this story doesn't warm your heart, I don't know what will!  Winston Howes, a 70-year-old farmer started this project in memory of his wife who died nearly two decades ago.  He used 6,000 oak trees to create a giant heart in the middle of his field in South Gloucestershire, England.  The heart points in the direction of her childhood home... so sweet!  I would love to see this from a plane or hot air balloon!  You can also read an interview with him here.
