Heart Petals -Guest Heart Thursday

This is a petal from an old fashioned rose bush.  It is such a fragrant flower--as are most antique roses.  This one once graced the garden of our Great Grandmother.  I like to think that she would have loved this flower blooming so beautiful and fragrant next to the pond in Mumsie's yard.

The petals are so perfectly heart-shaped I thought them perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

Beauty in a Drop - Weekend Reflections

My darling Sissy and I always find wonderful things in The Abandoned.  The last time we walked there with our cameras, was no exception.  The sun burst through the clouds to glorify raindrops shining everywhere around us....
 

Marching a scintillating trail down a thread of green grass...

Resting delicately on the fragrant petals of a rose....

Festooning the tips of swaying grass seed...

Reflecting the world from beneath the sharp tip of a blackberry thorn...

Shining on purple leaves...

The Abandoned will always be a mysterious place filled with magic and adventure.  I feel honored and blessed to walk there with my dear Sissy--who delights my heart no end.

Pure Gold - Weekend Reflections

Have you ever wondered what faeries drink?  There is a rare vintage distilled from the heart of a rose.  It is only found in the early morning sun and is suitable for faery kings and queens.  This dewdrop of pure gold from the heart of a rose is the most fragrant delicious drink to be had--if you were a faery!

Heart of Rose - Guest Heart Thursday

Tuesday I drove to my parent's home.  It had just rained.  Sissy and I went for a walk -- and of course the sun came out!  The world was filled with nature's sparkling jewels.

This glorious rose is from Mom's garden.  The entire flower is in the shape of a heart.  But if you look closely, the glowing raindrop in the heart of the rose also reflects a heart.

The Fragrant Dew

The fragrant dew

From rosy lips

Falls gently to the ground.

To share its joy

With those who seek

To find what can't be found.

-- By Beth Niquette 

Have you ever had a moment that just falls into place?  That's what happened just now as I saw this photo -- the words just flew out of my fingertips.

Smiling Heart Rose - Guest Heart Thursday

I love roses!  The pink bush out front has the most fragrant blooms--this rose was grinning and giggling at me as I passed by, so I took her picture.  Can you see her smiling?  Isn't she a sweet peach of a heart?  lol

Heart of a Child

When my darling little niece offered me this lovely flower I didn't notice at first it was in the shape of a heart.  Sissy, of course, was the one who noticed first.

It is the Heart of a Child--fragrant, beautiful and a bit of whimsey.
