Shiny Shattered Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


It is amazing to me, how many times I look at a picture I've taken on the computer, and find a heart!  Can you see the heart here?  It is in the sunshine shining through one of the shattered windows of The Abandoned.

Springtime Emeralds - Weekend Reflections




Here in Oregon, Springtime and rain go hand in hand.  As a Native Oregonian, I have loved the rain in all its moody dampness.  I especially love the way its drops tremble on the petals of Spring flowers and grasses.  One can see so much beauty in a raindrop.

Happy Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


One can find hearts here and there in The Abandoned, if one looks hard enough.  Sissy and I have found many of them--this one I especially love, as to me, it looks like a happy heart taking flight.

Curly Metal Heart - Guest Heart Thursday



There is music in The Abandoned--especially when the wind blows.  Hanging from the ceiling are thousands of long strips of metal which, when the wind blows, act as giant chimes.  When combined with the whiffling air beneath the wings of a great owl and the rhythmic steps of a cautious deer the music is breathtakingly beautiful.

Sissy and I both took pictures of this curling metal heart.  As the wind stirred the chimes overhead, the owl found its perch overhead in the rafters and magic filled the air.
