Just me, lol, good luck with your album.
That’s thinking out of the box, thanks, I will incorporate it.
I’m hoping that the subject of your longing is impressed.
Hydrangeas are blue sometimes.
Lone mourning dove.
A candle just blown out with the smoke showing.
“Go fracking ahead”
I am not at all versed in this method of extracting oil.
snap out of it.
Thanks. Nightingales are also said to symbolize longing. Try to find them. As I said, the photos must be all mine!
I woulda if I coulda!
who the hell is in control of you? man up.
Is it ravens that mate for life, too?
You’re right, but I haven’t been able to do it for a while.
There is something about women.
Even somebody as accomplished and independent in all ways as Johnny Depp admits it. (I’m no fan of Hollyweird stars.)
it’s hormones, period, end of story. it has no basis in reason. hormones have their place. so does reason. get a grip.
“yearning for something or someone who is missing”
On the part of those who believe in soul mates and haven’t successfully settled or found one yet.
It’s having a functioning heart, but not a heart that sings.
Tolerable and even nice at times... but never really whole.

I am a girl.
[but not a heart that sings.]
What you wrote is lovely. I am a ‘girl’ too, lol.
Ultimately, you're going to have to say it with words anyway. So while I encourage you to pursue your artistic creative endeavors, if you think a longing-themed photo album is going to suffice in persuading your muse, then you are delusional.
Pick up the phone, spend the dime, persuade with words. Save the beautiful photo album for damage control for after you inevitably do something really stupid to screw up the relationship. In fact, prepare many beautiful photo albums for this eventuality -- you will need them all.

Gads, you must be a man.
Have you never felt a longing to go back in time to a certain place, a certain time or a certain event - to be able to experience it over again? Longing doesn’t HAVE to be about a person.
I love your post! Having lost my father last December, I’ve experienced a busload of longing for what will not be again on this earth. And my poor mom, seeing her grief tugs at my heartstrings.
Perhaps a small free-form heart, made of tiny strings with one loose on the side as an accent to your photos.
Also, I encourage you to think outside of the visual. The scent of my dad’s cologne is a powerful trigger for me of so many memories of him. A scent card perhaps sealed in pretty little envelope that can be opened?
Also, most any garden center (the nicer ones) carry blue hydrangeas as gift plants year round. I’d also suggest the blue flowers of lavendar or pansy plants. They can be pressed and dried when sandwiched between sheets of paper in a heavy book. It takes around two weeks.
My best wishes to you on your very creative project!
