Another Demolition Heart

I walked alone amidst the rubble ...

And found I wasn't really alone after all.

I carried in my heart ...

All of YOU!

(This heart is exactly as I found it - I only lightened the background to make it pop out a bit more)

Hearts Revisited - PicStory

I am revisiting some of the hearts I have collected over the years ...
Here is a rusty heart, found on an old light fixture at the abandoned church across the street.

It was springtime when I found this feather heart tucked in amongst the hawthorn blossoms.

And one of my favorite hearts of all time ... I called it
"Worshiping the Chicken Wing Heart".

Tina's "PicStory" photo challenge this week is HEARTS - how could I resist???

Tiny Rusty Heart

A tiny speck of rusty metal in a windowsill at the abandoned church ...
So beautiful it was ... a perfect heart.
I picked it up, and carefully put it in my pocket.
When I got home, the only thing left in my pocket ...
Was rusty heart dust!

A Rusty Heart for Owen

I don't usually dedicate hearts to anyone, though I have on occasion.
This is one such occasion, because ...
This is where I concede to Owen
over at Magic Lantern Show ...
That his rhododendrons are better than mine.

When I say better, I mean they are taller.
And older.
And Owen definitely showed way more dedication to finding his ... a three hour hike through the woods!!! I just had to walk across the street to the abandoned church ...

Everything else about our rhodies is a tie!

So ... Owen, this abandoned and rusty heart is for you.
I certainly enjoy your blog - I especially love your sense of humor.
Thank you for making me smile.
Thank you for making me laugh.

Oh, and thanks for the mention of Random Nature!
It made my day.

Rusty Heart

I wonder how long this piece of metal had to sit here ...
Exposed to wind and rain ...
And snow ...

How long ...
Before this heart appeared ...
Slowly ...
One drop at a time ...
Oxidizing steel into rust ...

How long before ...
It changes again ...
Another shape emerging ...
To be Wondered at ...
