Fairy Bowl?

So many interesting things can be found in the forests of my childhood, which surround what is left of The Abandoned.  This wonderful bit of lichen reminds me of a fairy bowl.  One could imagine this on the elegant, leaf-clad table of the fairy folk.

Lichen This Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

How amazing to find such exquisite detail in such a tiny bit of lichen.  This heart is smaller than a pencil eraser!  I like the contrast of limb, moss and lichen. The heart is perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

White Lichen Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Isn't this a lovely collection of lichen and moss?  I especially like the little white lichen heart.  With all the rain we've had over the last few months, the moss and such are thriving in all their plush glory.  I wish you could see the beauty of the Forests of my childhood.  

It is magical there.  Have a lovely weekend and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Microscopic Heart March -Guest Heart Thursday

These beautiful lichen are so tiny, I didn't see the hearts until I was able to see them on my computer!  They are so cute.  One thing which cannot be destroyed are the teeniest things in the world.   No matter that this place is now in rubble and ruin--nature will not be thwarted.

Gazebo Lichen Heart - Guest Heart Thursday

After years of exposure to the wind, rain, snow and then a fire set by vandals, which robbed it of its support--the Gazebo finally fell flat.

Yet, even in the final destruction of this graceful structure, one can find beauty in this heart-shaped lichen.

Beauty in Miniature - Weekend Reflections

I love to discover unexpected surprises as Sissy and I walk together.  Along the railing of a lost bridge, we find Beauty in Miniature--tiny worlds, all their own.

Small places where the sunshine sparkles into darkness, revealing exquisite lichen.  One wonders if faery lands could be seen if one could only peer a little closer.

Overhead, clinging to its fragile gossamer roof, there is sparkling loveliness in abundance here. 

Have a lovely Easter weekend everyone!

Strawberry Tree in The Abandoned

In The Abandoned, whose empty windows look out on wild meadow and encroaching forests, one can find magical things.

A tiny forest of lichen adorning a fallen log.

An a hidden pathway leading to some enchanted wandering.

Next to the strawberry tree, where the red fruit grows lush and sweet.

Lichen This Heart

One can find all kinds of strange lichens and mosses growing in and around The Abandoned.  This is one example of some lichen Sissy and I found growing on a tree last Spring.  I think it is beautiful--and perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!
