Katie Holmes delivered a sneak peek into her life in New York on Thursday when she shared an adorable discovery during a walk through her beloved city.
The star took a break from promoting her new Broadway show Our Town, to deliver a photo on Instagram stories which made her smile.
Katie posted a snapshot of the sidewalk where leaves had fallen on the path with one shaped like a perfect heart.
At first glance, it looked like someone had drawn the heart with chalk, rather than it naturally occurring.
Katie added some pink heart emojis of her own and let the photo do the talking.

She posted several images from the performance and captioned them: "Here's your first look at Our Town! Be sure to catch the show and experience the magic up close. #ForOurTime."
Katie is starring in the new production as Mrs Webb, and her performance has been hailed as "phenomenal" by critics.

It's been keeping the mom-of-one busy after becoming an empty-nester last month when her daughter, Suri, left home for college.
The 18-year-old is studying in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at Carnegie Mellon University.
Suri was spotted settling into her new home on campus at the end of August, with Katie by her side.
The mother-daughter duo was seen carrying bags and navigating the campus grounds together.

Suri's college move marks a significant moment for Katie, who has been vocal about her pride in her daughter's accomplishments.

Katie and Suri have also worked together on several of her movies and she's loved gifting her daughter a "safe, beautiful, creative space," to express herself.

Katie shares Suri with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, but the Mission Impossible star is believed to be estranged from his daughter and hasn't seen her in years.
