Mossy Stump Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

The last time we walked in The Abandon, Sissy and I found lots and lots of hearts--this one in the top of a moss-covered stump, was the prettiest, I thought. I am sure faeries must live nearby.

I loved the angle of heart curling up onto the wall.  It is an eye bender!

Somehow the vandals have found their way back up onto the rooftop.  But I didn't mind this cheerful blue heart.  I am enamored with many of the incredible graffiti art pieces found in and on these buildings.

Green and Grey - Guest Heart Thursday

With all this rain, the well-watered moss and lichen stretches over trees, branches, cement walls, railings and stairways.  I happened to catch this heart, left in the wake of that mossy green growing.  It is all a part of the magic of The Abandoned.

Heart on a Rail - Guest Heart Thursday

The Abandoned has many pathways, some cleared, some not.  One of my favorite places to walk is a forgotten foot path where a rustic wooden bridge crosses the old waterway.  It leads to the strawberry trees just beyond. It is a truly magical and lovely place.  I don't know of anywhere else where strawberry trees grow.


As Sissy and I walked that lonely path, I found this green mossy Heart on a Rail.

Mossy Heart - Guest Heart Thursday

This wonderful mossy heart came from the top of a cement hand rail.  What I didn't notice until I got home, is the white color fraying the ends of the moss, is actually tiny glistening water drops. You can see this better if you click for the larger view.

There is always something magical and beautiful to be found in The Abandoned.

Heart of the Abandoned - Guest Heart Thursday

Sissy and I went for a walk through The Abandoned.  What a wonderful thing to walk with my sister!  It had been a long time.  We climbed the stairs to the great fireplace.

Where curl of brick twines strangely, like some kind of artist's work...

Where one can find a magical heart imprint in pitted cement...

Or the bloom of moss heart on stone railing...

Mossy Heart in The Abandoned - Guest Heart Thursday

Sissy and I enjoy our long walks through The Abandoned and the surrounding forests.  When walking around the edges of The Abandoned, it is as though Sleeping Beauty's castle might lie beyond those blackberry vined boundaries.

Indeed, it was startling to see this heart in moss--let alone an outline of one.  But to find such an unusual heart is a part of the magic of The Abandoned.  One never knows what one might find walking through those lonely deserted buildings and pathways.
