Ocean Hearts for Sissy -Guest Heart Thursday

Because my sister Clytie loves the beach so much, when I go to the ocean, I always ask the Mighty Creator to send a special heart for Sissy.

This astonishing photo is the answer to that prayer.  The first heart I noticed was the spray heart on the right, but as I was leveling the photograph, I saw a small pink heart to the left, and another ocean foam heart between the two.  There is another tiny heart tucked into the crashing waves. 

Just for you, my sweet, most marvelous, wonderful SissyBoo.  Below is the original picture, before I cropped and leveled it.

Glowing Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Yesterday on our drive to the chapel to make arrangements for Dad's memorial, there were thunderstorms everywhere.  We noticed a little sunbeam following us all the way into town.  Even when it was raining, the sun shone.  I just happened to catch this glowing heart in the skies.  I'm sure it must have been Dad blowing my sisters and me, his granddaughter and sweet Mumsie a kiss.

 
I could not resist putting up this picture of my beautiful sister and niece.  Yes, there was this electronic chair lift which went from the bottom of the stairs to the top.  I was lying in wait at the top.  Isn't this just the sweetest, most lovely picture of them?  They are both QUITE photogenic.

I took this picture last Friday.  It was so bright and beautiful--it reminded me of heaven and of joy.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving everyone.

Lil' Sissy's Birthday Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

As a birthday gift, I took our youngest sister on a nature walk put on by Life Source in Salem.  They taught us about various native plants which can be used as food, or medicines.  You wouldn't believe how many our our native plants and trees can be used!  It was a fascinating study.  We both enjoyed the walk thoroughly. 

Anyhow--SissyClytie told LilSissy and me that she was sending us a special heart and to be watching for it.  Our Friend TJ spotted it first.  Isn't this great?

Here's a closeup of Lil'Sissy's birthday heart.

Thank you for sending us such a special birthday gift, SissyBoo!

Sissy's Sea Heart - Guest Heart Thursday

Yes that is snow on the beach--and my darling Sissy Clytie taking pictures of her beloved ocean.  As you can see--there is a Sea Heart out in the waves up over her left shoulder.  I only enhanced it a small bit.

It is not surprising the Sea sent this little love gift to my precious Sissy!  Just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

A Moss Heart for Sissy

I was up early morning in the mountains, when I caught this sweet moss heart with my camera.  I knew this heart must be especially for my darling Sister Clytie, Queen of hearts. 

If you get the chance, pop on over to Sissy's heart page Random Hearts.  Her photos are incredibly creative and unique, not to mention inspiring!

She Sees Hearts

I was so excited yesterday--I had the fabulous privilege (and I mean that) of walking with Sissy through the ruins of the abandoned church, through the overgrown grounds surrounding, watching lichen and blossomings.  Stepping over ruin to find unexpected places of beauty.

What a surprise to have caught the silhouette of my precious Sissy--and it seems it is no astonishment there is a heart there on the left . . . because she sees hearts.

Backside

Yesterday Clytie and I went for a long walk in our beloved forest. We had the privilege of watching the flight of a great owl--something clutched in his claws and a beautiful eagle--white head and tail gleaming in the late afternoon sunshine. Then down by the creek I found the skeleton of a coyote . . . Such a delicate, lovely skull with very sharp teeth.

Sissy and I had a great time together--I can't tell you how much I'd been looking forward to spending time with her. Sissy's imagination matches my own--so we had a wonderful adventure.

But imagine our surprise to catch this tree, er, from the back. Hmmm . . . I thought of offering this lovely Dryad my coat, but instead we crept away. One must have privacy, you know--even if one is a Dryad.
