Splashed With Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday


Ned and his friends splashed hearts across The Abandoned--At first I was at loss to know how they accomplished drawing hearts clear up to this three-story ceiling in the pool area--then I saw the pipes!  Brave souls, I must say.


Sissy and I found these hearts on the side wall at the base of one of the stairways.


Just below the cause way, past the main auditorium, I caught this sparkle highlighting another heart.


Nature joined in, just as we were leaving--with this cool sunny heart in the corner.

In the Woodlands


The old maples found in canyons surrounding The Abandoned are spectacular.  I often wonder about the things they may have seen over the hundreds of years they have been growing here.


There are enchanted stumps in these forests.  This one looks as like a doorway into an enchanted castle.


And here a window in what is obviously a fairy condo.



This lovely green thistle grew along the road just before the path to Deer Valley.  What a magical place.  I often think of the privilege we had as children--living here, playing here...what a beautiful place for imaginative children to live and play.

Rebar Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


Many changes are happening as the new owners attempt to tame The Abandoned.  I am constantly taken aback by the beauty I find here...even when the bones of broken structures are revealed.

Pretty Plywood Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


The graceful lines in this piece of broken plywood remind us this was once part of a growing tree.  And there in the swirls of the years, one can find a heart.
