Shroom Hearts - Guest Heart Thursday


On our way home from Spokane, Washington, in one of the parks we visited, we found these amazing heart-shaped mushrooms at the base of a tree.  Not only did these naturally form heart shapes, but there is a near-perfect circle in the gathering of three mushrooms on the right.

Pink Sphere


A few weeks ago, my Friend Peggy and I, on our way home spotted the most amazing Sunset.  There was even a pink rainbow--which, because of the darkness of the hour, didn't come out.

We were both amazed by this sphere shape in the clouds.  This is a pale representation of what it looked like in real life.

Sunset's Heart - Guest Heart Thursday



On the way to my youngest sister's place Monday evening, I caught this heart within a heart within the most gorgeous sunset I've seen in a long time.  Enjoy!

You are Being Watched...


I've seen eyes in the skies for a long time.  I never said too much about them, because I was sure someone would think I was crazy.  (grin)  Then, years ago, driving near the Baskett Slough bird sanctuary, I caught this set of beaming eyes with my very first digital camera.


Working in my garden last summer, I looked up to find this set of eyes watching me over the shoulder of the next door neighbor's tree.


And finally, here is a set of scary tilted eyes I captured over the back fence.  Eeeek!

So if you ever feel you are being watched--you know, that prickly creeping sensation on the back of your neck--check to see if the eyes of the clouds are watching!

Happy Snap Apple Day!

Magic Lights


Our journey home from Spokane took us through Oregon's great Columbia Gorge.  My husband and I took our time, stopping frequently.  Just as the sun was setting we decided to pull off at a small park neither one of us had been to before.  The late sunshine slanted through the trees as we walked hand in hand to the edge of the waters.

It was beautiful--hard to describe the lovely magic of this place.  There was a colorful rainbow quality to the air and bits of cottonwood drifted through the sunshine like tiny faeries.  My husband and I swung in the swings and laughed like children.  The river sparkled its magical dreams.


The next day, I took a look at the photos from the park.  I gasped when I saw this picture.  An unexpected square of colorful reflections.  Probably a trick of the camera--but amazing all the same.

The qualities of our world, reflections, light, shapes of cloud, tree, hill and mountain will never cease to amaze my soul.

Spider Web Hearts - Guest Heart Thursday



Here's another of Nature's amazing natural shapes.  Without any instruction, these two spiders each set a heart in their web.  One found within the web, the next is the shape of the entire web! A perfect choice for Guest Heart Thursday!

Sea Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


I have always loved the sea--I haven't been there since this Spring.  This sea heart can be found at low tide along the foot of the cliffs of Pacific City.  The cliffs and tide pools there are amazing.
