love thursday: simple gifts

When I returned home from Atlanta last Saturday, these lovely lilies were waiting for me: Marcus and Alex bought them for me while I was away.  I was so thrilled, particularly because these are my favourite blossoms to photograph -- there's just so much going on in them, you know?

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Please leave your stories or links to your words or images of love in the comments, below. 

And just for fun, give someone an unexpected gift today.

(Incidentally, if you need some inspiration on what to give, my friend Mocha Momma has a great idea.)
