Another Lovely Cloud Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Just before all the sunshine flooded our way, the sky was filled with some amazing clouds.  I just happened to catch this heart in the clouds.  On closer examination, I found a dog howling, a bearded man and several other interesting shapes.  What do you see?

Yoda Holds My Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I was driving home from Salem, along the river road, when I caught sight of Yoda.  He was holding a heart.  I quickly pulled over and shot this picture of him.  Isn't he cute?!  There's even a rainbow on one side of that unexpectedly near-perfect heart!

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Old Memories -Weekend Reflections

I was on my way home when I stopped at a little park I'd never frequented before.  In the woods off the road, I found this ancient school bus hidden in the underbrush.

I was fascinated by the rusty old parts of this vehicle--especially this steering wheel.  What an unexpected find.

Shattered glass lay in the moss-covered earth.  I wondered how long it had been there.

Going on a Heart Hunt -Guest Heart Thursday

My six-year old niece and I went on a heart hunt last week.  She was so excited to point out this one.  "For Auntie Honey," she exclaimed, dancing in her pink sparkly shoes.  This is what we call a tulip tree.  It is really a magnolia--but I like tulip tree better.  There's something fanciful about that name.

This is a May flower.  We found them down by the creek where the Johnny Jump Ups grow.  As you can see, in the folded budding of the flower--there's a heart.

Here you see the best find of all.  She was SO happy over this heart on a shell.  Our little niece was excited she'd found so many hearts for her dear Auntie Honey.

Happy heart hunting!

Cloudy Angel

Sunday, on our way home from Carson, Washington State, we stopped in Stevenson at my favorite park.  It is where one can cross an oaken bridge to a little meadow.  From there, stone hewn steps lead to a small lagoon where the beach is strewn with blue rocks.  I once met a dragon there.  (grin)  It is a magical place.

I wasn't a bit surprised to see this cloudy angel waving at me from across the river!

Have a beautiful day!

Johnny Jump Up Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

 This is what we call Johnny Jump Ups.  They are yellow violets and grow wild in the forests of my childhood. 

I was delighted to find them growing in our local park!  They've cleared the brambles away and the Johnny Jump Ups have arrived in force.

They cluster around the trees and along the pathways near the creek....

...to the delight of my darling little niece!

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
