On our last trip to Chicago we stopped at several cupcake stores, but the only one we returned to this trip was Bleeding Heart Bakery. In fact we went there straight from the airport!
Last time because we stopped at several cupcake stores in one day I only got to try one cupcake flavour at each, so this time Ryan and I bought a box of 6 to bring back to the hotel room. I was hoping to get him a doughnut too but alas it was not in the cards that day.

Bleeding hearts, we should move Valentines day into March to time it with the flowering of this beautiful plant.
Very difficult to get the colour right on this capture. I'd recently painted the fences behind, and the bold terracotta colour is striking against the strong pinks of the hearts
A neighbor showed me this not too old Polaroid camera he's managed to hold on to. It was a little dusty.
I'm down to 9 packs of 600.
Song by: Leona Lewis
Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy
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
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

......
At midnight, in the month of June,
I stand beneath the mystic moon.
An opiate vapor, dewy, dim,
Exhales from out her golden rim,
And, softtly dripping, drop by drop,
Upon the quiet mountain top,
Steals drowsily and musically
Into the universal valley.
The rosemary nods upon the grave;
The lily lolls upon the wave;
Wrapping the fog about its breast,
The ruin molders into rest;
Looking like Lethe, see! the lake
A conscious slumber seems to take,
And would not, for the world, awake.
All Beauty sleeps! - and lo! where lies
she, with her Destinies!
Edgar Allan Poe, "The Sleeper"
......
A la medianoche, en la casa de junio, suave y bruna,
Permanecí de pie bajo aquella mística luna.
Un vapor embriagante, somnoliento,
Exhalaba sobre el valle su encantamiento,
Fluyendo gota a gota, suavemente,
Sobre la cresta calma del monte,
Robaba el delicado sopor musical
De aquél profundo valle universal.
El romero crece sobre la tumba,
El lirio corre sobre la marea;
Envolviendo la niebla aérea,
Y las ruinas descansan juntas.
Mirad! Semejante al Leteo duerme el lago,
Un reposo sin tregua en su mundo soñado;
Y del sopor consciente no quiere despertar,
Toda la belleza duerme!
Allí donde sueña ella,
Sola con su destino.
Edgar Allan Poe, "La Durmiente"
Dicentra Spectabilis plant in my garden.. meaning of name 'Secret Love'
Also know as Bleeding Heart, Lady in the Bath, Lieutenant’s Heart, Dutchman’s Trousers.
Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis); also known as old-fashioned bleeding-heart, Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower is a rhizomatous perennial plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower for Valentine's Day. It usually has red heart-shaped flowers with white tips which droop from arching flower stems in late spring and early summer. Flowers are heart-shaped and 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) long, with pink outer petals and white inner petals, hanging in a horizontal raceme. They bloom from late spring to early summer. First plants specimens were introduced into England in the 1840s from Japan by the Scottish botanist and plant hunter Robert Fortune. (Wikipedia)
I found this interesting bleeding Silver Birch at Charnwood Lodge Nature Reserve on Easter Monday. Yes it looked for all the world like blood so please feel free to read your own religious symbolism into it! The sap had dried and felt like varnish. I have no idea why this happens or why it was only on one side of the tree. Any ideas?
