Pond Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I was over to my Mom's place to help get ready for a family reunion.  I spent three and a half days in a tent out in the old blueberry patch.  I heard owls hooting, crickets singing--and the wind soughed through the old fir trees...what a wonderful wonderful time.

While I was there, I spied a single flower in Dad's beloved fish pond.  Of course you can see the leaves are shaped like hearts!

I have called this blog "Geometric" to describe some of the unusual and amazing shapes found in nature.  I know hearts aren't exactly geometric--but it is incredible how many things in nature are in the shape of hearts.

Fiery Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Tuesday Morning I awoke early.  There was a luminous quality to the air, so I went outside with my camera just in case.  I'm so glad I did.  I caught a beautiful fiery, sideways heart.  Just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Spidey Hearts! -Guest Heart Thursday

What a colorful spider!  If you look closely, there are some heartish markings in yellow along the side of the spider's body.  I was so taken with this garden spider.  He looked just like the gorgeous ones my siblings and I would find in the field in summer when we were kids.

To give you a better perspective as to size--that is my pointer finger.  With legs and body, that spider was as big as a quarter...EEEEEEeeeeeek!  

But with those amazing interesting heart shapes, he was perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

Moth Wing Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

 

I was on the phone, talking to Clytie, when I spotted a moth on the side of our house.  I took a closer look and eureka!   The moth's wings were covered with hearts!

Here's a closeup of the hearts on its wings.

Still on the phone with Sissie, the moth seemed to be saying, "enough already, I'm trying to rest!"

I have never seen a moth like this one. Is it possible that because I was talking to the Queen of Hearts, the hearts appeared?  One never knows!  Have a lovely day fellow heart lovers!

The Eye of the Cat -Guest Heart Thursday

Reflections are fascinating.  Even in a cat's eye.  This is Toez the Polydactyl Cat.  If you look closely, you can see two reflected hearts.  Do you suppose it is her way of saying "I love you?"  With a cat, you never know.

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Blue Cloud Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Sitting on the beach before the fireworks began, the real display was in the clouds.  I have such lovely memories of my Mom, my little buddy Theresa and I lying back on the blanket together laughing over how great the clouds looked upside down.  In fact, as you can see--this photo is upside down.  And yes, there are plenty of hearts to be found.

Here is another photo I took lying back on the blanket--as you can see, there are two jet trails from opposite directions.  

I was astounded to see this "E" in the clouds--Mom's first name is Eva.  Theresa, Mumsie and I thought this was a pretty wonderful occurence!

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Jellyfish Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Here is another heart from the sea, found whilst walking along the pounding surf.  What fun!  A jellyfish heart.  Thrown purposefully at our feet on our anniversary, I'm sure!

Muscle Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I found so many hearts at the seashore when my husband and I stayed in Oregon's magnificent Pacific City.  This is a muscle shell.  The inside of this shell is beautiful--looks like blue and purple rainbow mother-of-pearl. 

Walking on the beach with my darling husband, celebrating our anniversary of 31 years--of COURSE I would find hearts!

Sparkled Ocean Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Here is another heart rock I found at the ocean last week.  This heart was bathing in a sunny depression of rock found along the edges of the cliffs of one of Oregon's jewels of the sea, Pacific City.

If you notice, not only is the rock in the shape of a heart--but there is a tiny heart on the rock itself.  Just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

Beach Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I always feel privileged when I find a heart such as this breaking through the smooth surface of the stone cliffs near the sea. I thought this one, which I spotted last week, was perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

Here is where the surf pounds against the rocky tide pools beneath the shadow of Teacup Rock.  A closer look at the photo earlier today and I found another heart in the spray.  Can you see it?  

Have a lovely day, and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Heart in the Sky -Guest Heart Thursday

I am continually amazed at how many hearts can be found in nature.  This is a heart I captured in the sky over our home a week ago.  Amazing!  Perhaps this is not a truly geometric form--but a cloud heart is still one of those wonderful finds with meaning.

Fire Flower Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I went on a day trip to The Dalles in Oregon's spectacular Columbia Gorge.  I had not visited there in spring before.  What a beautiful sight--there were flowers everywhere.  I found this fiery flower heart on the hills where a real forest fire raged late last summer.

Here's a closeup of this wonderful flower.   Such a beautiful blossom--so bright and bold in the sunshine.

As you can see--the flowers on the hillside are just incredible.  Can you find the fire flower?  Just a spot of red amongst the yellow blooms.

Sunset at Sea Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I have posted this before, I think.  I have had a longing for the sea--and I know my darling Sissy has also felt this.  Hence, I am posting this sunset heart over the sea for  YOU, dear Sis.

Sky Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I was out and about a few days ago--and guess who decided to peek at me from behind the trees in the back yard?  You can see--it was this heart.  I knew instantly that Sissy must be thinking of me.  Seems like I see hearts everywhere when I'm on her mind.  (grin)

Rock 'n Ocean -Guest Heart Thursday

Sweet sissy Clytie loves the ocean--so this one is for you, Honey!  Can you see the rock heart behind the surf's spray?  It took me a minute--but it is there.  

"Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;

Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;

Let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

For the Lord is a great God,

and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth;

the heights of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it,

And his hands formed the dry land."

~A Psalm of David

(Psalm 95:1-5)

Bright Necklaces -Guest Heart Thursday

My Husband and I went to a on  Tuesday.  We stepped out of the van, and were greeted by the brightly marked bird  you see above.  She was fanning her feathers and making a terrible fuss.

She acted like she'd broken her wing.  Then I realized we must be close to her nest.  Indeed we were.   

We put up cones so no one else would bother this brave little mama bird.  There were a lot of people, and we thought for sure someone would make the same mistake we did.  When the conference was over, we removed the cones.  What a dear little killdeer!

Of course I found a heart nearby--can you find it?  Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
