These flowers were planted in the yard 17 yrs ago, by my daughter. They always delight me when they come back each spring. I`m using the definition as a homograph here

First conceptual photography i have ever done. I waited and waited for that little droplet to fall but it never did. The red poster colour i use was a little too thick i guess.
Today I selected new plants for my garden not on the basis of a carefully thought over planting plan but on their photographic quality.
The Bleeding Hearts that we planted in the garden at the front of the house finally provided us with blossoms this year. I wanted a image to remember this by and as I got down to ground level I noticed the wonderful back light being provided by the setting sun. I decided to take full advantage of the situation and enhanced it a bit to get this dramatic image.
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
BLEEDING LOVE

This was a last minute order from a bride who couldn't find anyone in the Portland area to make her an armadillo cake. I am a HUGE fan of the armadillo cake so I happily took no the project. The bride was so excited to see the cake she said "HOLY SH*T!! that is AMAZING!!!" when I brought it in and proceeded to take mass amounts of photos on her phone. Now that is what I call a good reaction :-D
The Bleeding-Heart Dove gets this name from a splash of vivid red colour at the centre of their white breasts. On first sight it is hard to believe that the bird has not recently been wounded. This odd plumage is presumed to be for display purposes.
We have a small bleeding heart plant in our flower bed, surrounded by the hosta. I caught these few, peeking up at me this weekend, saying "Please save me from these hostas!"
The name bleeding heart is derived from the blossom's resemblance to a puffy pink heart with two drops at its tip. The shape of the flower has led to some other interesting common names. "Lyre flower" refers to the fully-opened flower, which is shaped like a small harp; "Dutchman's trousers" comes from the flower's resemblance to a pair of baggy pants. To understand the name "lady in the bath," it is necessary to hold the flower pointed-side up. Gently depress the pink petals to expose the white "lady," or inner petal of the flower.
The flowers open beginning in April, dangling along the plant's gracefully arching stems. If in a location to its liking and not allowed to dry out, a large specimen will display blooms for as long as four to six weeks. The gray-green leaves are soft, lacy and finely divided. The most commonly found bleeding heart has blossoms of pale to deep pink, but there is also a white-flowered version, Dicentra spectabilis "Alba."
I was so excited to find these bleeding hearts flowers!! They were hiding behind some bushes.. It's been so cold here and the flowers that normally bloom haven't yet..
I want to wish all of you beautiful Moms a very Happy Mothers Day!!! ♥
Best in size Large-White lights deserve their own picture at Niagara Falls. It is the softest look you get under the lights, plus you can see the Canadian Falls much better in the background. Here it is seen in impressionistic digital painting.
Standing on the Precipice (JHWatkins)
Standing on the precipice-
balanced at junctions,
space and time-
there are no excuses here
no explanations or rhymes.
Locked in lavish rhythm
far beyond the brink-
hid from help or rescue-
on jagged edge distinct.
Weighty voices-
tomorrows bearing-
form forces by the day...
Wound tight
in folds of failure-
by faltering historic foray.
Naked standing truth-
whirl winded and filleted-
open now -
body bleeding-
clean by choice-
ruthless rights parlayed.
Ring round the
restless righteous-
tormented tongues
twisted and advanced.
Weapons trained-
fitting filled-
hopelessness entranced.
New toys
for large little boys-
clicking clocks
in finest fashion.
Positioned perspective-
poisoned possessive power-
from places unimagined.
Whining women-
worn-out white wheezers-
talking days on end-
endless hours
of wasted words-
useless air-
precious spent.
Children torn
apart at seams-
families drugged
and drenched...
Callous toned
nightmares
running wild-
seeds scattered
in the wind.
Lost by generation's
darkened doubt-
aflame
the fearless world-
tossed aside by
hellish schemes-
now rampant-
flags unfurled.
Gone the green
and yearning years-
foundations
fairly laid-
of priceless pearl
in wisdom grown,
crown jewelry
on parade.
But new
the turning earth begins-
choice
once again delayed.
Come cold and calm
courageous men-
run boldly
to your fate.
And stand in
earnest errand bare,
an era
at the end-
now bind yourselves
betrothed and braced-
to finish
without fear. (James watkins 2004)
