Broken Concrete Heart

The depression is somewhat oval ...

It's the wind-blown debris ...
That found it's way into that empty spot ...
That became the heart of the broken concrete.

Sissie's Hearts!

I got to visit Sissie last week -
And look what I found!
A heart!
In her hubby's bass guitar!
She was suitably impressed.

But the best heart by far -
Was worn by sissie herself!!!

Spring Bracken Heart

The bracken ferns are starting to unfurl,
Soon they will be huge.

This one caught my eye ...
You can see why!

In another week, this heart will be gone -
Part of an even bigger Spring miracle.

I like it both ways.

Scream Heart Reflection - Weekend Reflections

If you enlarge this, you will see what caught my eye -

The reflection in the broken plexiglass ... a graffiti heart
on the wall behind me.

Heartworm

Tee hee, did I getchya?

See it?

Heart.
Worm.
Heartworm.

Snicker.

Sometimes I just can't help myself!

Scrap Fabric Heart

Every winter I save fabric scraps. From projects, towels that are past their usefulness, clothing that has been worn to rags.

I cut them into small strips.

When spring comes, I throw my little collection out into the brambles.

By the time summer comes, the scraps are gone. I like to think of my old worn out shirt gracing the nest of a forest critter ... my daughter's old hoodie lining a bird's nest.

I hope the critters appreciate my HEARTFELT efforts. Somehow, I think they do.

Flaking Rusty Heart

I found this flaking heart in the heart of an old torn apart swamp cooler at the abandoned mega-church.

It makes an interesting study of greens and browns.
And hearts.

A Heart, and a drop of Pitch

I was trying to capture the amber beauty of a drop of pitch.
I found a heart as well.
Do you see it?
It's in the upper left corner of the picture.

It almost looks like this heart
Is crying.

Paper Plate Heart

After someone's picnic at the park ...

A plate, blown out of the garbage can,
Probably last summer.

It must have taken all winter,
And some very hungry critters ...

To make this heart.

Quilted Heart

I was actually trying to take a picture of the cat,
Sprawled out on the sofa taking a nap.

The picture didn't turn out, and I was getting ready to delete it ...
Until I saw the heart -
On the quilt, right behind the cat.

The Story Behind the Glass Shard Heart

I was stalking the abandoned and vandalized mega-church.
More windows had been broken since the day before.
I was determined to catch someone - and take their picture!

I had called the Sheriff about these vandals - children ... some as young as 8 years old ...
On the roof, breaking out the glass.
For weeks now.

As I carefully picked my way through the glass shards,
This one caught my eye.
What are the chances of a broken window shard ... being such a beautiful heart?

Suddenly - voices!
Loud angry voices!
I snuck around the corner ...

Snicker.

I guess my multiple calls to the Sheriff have been answered.

I feel much better now.

Heart and Sole

They came along ... the big machines ... clearing out years worth of accumulated stuff out of the ditches up and down our country road.

What they pulled up was amazing.

Including the remnants of an old shoe ...
Long past its usefulness ... except for the heart.

Heart Before Sunrise

I was on the phone with sissie ...
I looked out the window ...
And my train of thought totally derailed ...
Upon seeing the silhouette of a heart in the camelia tree ...
Framed by glowing contrails ...
Right before sunrise ...
Poor sissie, I hope I didn't hang up on her!

Gleaner Trash

The Gleaner delivery truck was unloaded, the baskets were filled ...
I was bringing my share to my car ...
When I came upon this beautiful heart
In the driveway.
