Shadows on Heart - Shadow Shot Sunday

I was walking in the woods, nature journal in hand, when the sun broke through the trees overhead - highlighting this tiny heart-shaped leaf.

Upside Down!

I heard the eagle chittering and calling behind the trees.
I've been trying to take his picture for weeks!

Just a glimpse through the trees and he was gone.
No eagle pictures today ...

But right there in front of me was this fantastic up-side-down heart!

The eagle can wait!

Red Lichen

My sister pointed out this heart to me while we were tramping in the woods behind the house ... revisiting our childhood haunts. She actually saw the red of the lichen from clear across the "crick", and we climbed back across "Huckleberry Bridge" to take pictures. Thank you Beth!
