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.

Spring Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I took this picture of white bleeding hearts last Spring.  It amazes me to realize how many hearts one can find in nature.  God must love hearts, too.

 As grey and rainy as it has been here--it's been the fourth rainiest winter on record--I long for Spring.  It makes me smile to think of all the flowers and trees blooming and growing in the warmth of the sun.

Geometric Mushroom - Seasonal Sundays

Walking in a park near the Columbia Gorge, I chanced upon this Geometric Mushroom, swollen with water from spring rains.  I love the flower like fluting around the edges and especially the near-perfect triangle in the center.
