Firey Designs

This is the design the warmth of the fire made on the glass of the fireplace.  I thought it was beautiful.  And so artistic--The Creator sure had fun when He made all the rules which govern this world.  I will likely use this design in one of my art pieces.

Have a lovely weekend.

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!

For more heart art, photography and altogether fabulous heart stuff from around the world, visit Clytie at Random Hearts for Guest Heart Thursday.

Survivor -SkyWatch Friday

I took this picture near The Dalles, Oregon.  Can you see the oval etched against the skies?  It is perfectly face-shaped.  This striking oval is an unusual formation to discover in the branches of a tree.  

Last August this oak tree was scorched by the flames of a forest fire, yet it lives.  There is new growth beneath the painful burning.  It is a beautiful reminder of hope in the midst of hardship.This photo brings to mind one of the beautiful Psalms of David. 

"He (or she) is like a tree planted by streams of water 

That yields its fruit in its season, 

And its leaf does not wither."  

~Psalm 1:3

Have a lovely weekend.
