The botanical name of this beautiful plant is Lamprocapnos spectabilis or Dicentra spectabilis, but I think it's common name, which is "Bleeding Heart" is much better!

This picture was taken in our back garden earlier this week.

The eye is the window to the soul, all life's complexities spill out.

Strolling in Sobieski park and the Florist’s Gardens

Just a short walk from the Domaine Royal de Laeken (Royal Estate of Laeken), these gardens are the result of Leopold II's wishes. This majestic leafy-green area extended the Stuyvenberg Estate. In 1999, a public park was created there. The different gardens which now make up the park reinterpret the historic nature of the site and give it a refined modernity, whilst meeting the strictest environmental standards. As the highpoint of the visit, the balconies emphasise the sweeping view that stretches from Notre-Dame de Laeken to the Palais de Justice (law courts)

Same field just west of Columbus,Ohio a few days ago...I have been really lucky on my recent excursions...

Please take a second and look large...thanks!

A post for Macro Mondays - this week's theme is curves. I hope the gently curving stem holding the curved hearts fits the bill for this week's theme. Taken this past weekend when exploring campus in search of blooming plants and trees.. I was so pleased I found these as they are one of my Spring favorites.

Bleeding Heart, White, Fully Opened - Dicentra Spectabilis Alba

Thought these bleeding heats looked kind of pretty on one of our walks thru the park.

Escape away

I'll take you to a place,

This fantasy of you and me,

I'll never lose the chase.

I can feel you

Rushing through my veins,

There's an notion in my heart,

I will never be the same.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things we can do from our character ... and yet if we do, it is incredibly liberating.

It cleanses us from the poisons of anger and resentment, and lets us live the life to live as a happy man ....;o))

My heart is bleeding,

My eyes are weeping,

My ears are ringing

I lost my feeling,

I think I am running,

It is nothing, but love attack.

Achy-breaky heart

Backyard bleeding heart with a drop of rain...

Pulled off a tab and it just started bleeding out.

I've been taking macros of our "bleeding heart" plants, as the flowers develop. Here are a few of my shots.

"and you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

or the moment of truth in your lies

when everything feels like the movies

yeah you bleed just to know you're alive..."

This morning I fought the wind and Ticks to work with a little patch of Bleeding Hearts I came across on my travels. I found them yesterday but didn't do too well, today seemed to go well and I was happy with this one. It seemed I had plenty of time to ponder the image as most of the time everything was blowing around.

I used some `bleeding` techique here. First I stamped the tree with green Distress ink and sprayed with water mist. When it was dry I stamped over in black. Tfl
