Johnny's Got Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


Last Spring Johnny Jump Ups were resplendent throughout the woods surrounding The Abandoned.  Neither Sissy nor I had ever seen so many of them in one place before--these cheerful flowers literally carpeted the forest floor.  It is a part of the magic of this place.  One never knows what unexpected  beauty one might find!

For more heart art, photography and altogether fabulous heart stuff from around the world, visit Clytie at Random Hearts for Guest Heart Thursday.

March of the Mushrooms


In our wanderings through the spectacular grounds of The Abandoned last Spring, Sissy and I found this March of the Mushrooms along an old decayed stump.

Oak Leaf Heart in The Abandoned - Guest Heart Thursday


Last summer, walking with my sister in The Abandoned, I caught this heart shaped opening in the overshadowing oak trees.  I haven't been able to walk there for some time--I hear there has been some clean up going on in The Abandoned.  I look forward to posting shots of its new look.  I imagine such a wonderfully magic place will respond to any efforts to clean and use the place.  It will always be a magical place to me.
