Not as tall as usual because of our very dry spring it is covered with bloom. I love this old fashioned flower :)
I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me cryin' like I thought I would never be

Decided I didn't particularly care for my previous upload, so I added a photograph I like much better.
We're more familiar with the pink / red Bleeding Heart blossoms. Here is the white version.
Compositionally Challenged Week 25 is Rule of Thirds. The bleeding hearts finished blooming a month ago, except for these three late bloomers. They are fully mature, their color fading.
By sheer fluke I passed this group of Bleeding Hearts in the park on the way back from the ravine. Obviously they are a lot more well defined and regular as one might expect from a cultivar, but I still think the woodland plants are related.
These blossoms bring back childhood memories. I'm sure they've always been around since then, but only in recent years have I noticed them again.
Bleeding Hearts are really hard to photograph well. Getting an artistic composition is a real challenge.
I'm gonna stop wasting time, honey
Being a run around
Chasing after every little girl
That lives in our town
I'm just take it easy, baby
I tell you what I'm
Gonna do right now
I'm hanging up my heart for you
I'm gonna shake the reputation
Of being a ladies man
Gonna throw away my
Little black book right now
In the nearest trash can
I'm gonna push aside
The things I used to do
Because I'm hanging up my
Heart for you just for you
I wanna thank you, yes
I wanna thank you
For making me see the light
And oh, I'm gonna thank you
Yes, I'm gonna thank you, darling
For the rest of my life
When I first met you, darling
You made my life complete
Everybody knows I love you
They can tell by the way I speak
Im just gonna take it easy, baby
And that ain't all I'm gonna do
Because I'm hanging up my
Heart for you, oh, yes, yes
I'm hanging up my heart
My heart for you, oh, for you

This shot is not original or creative at all, there are many thousands of photos of bleeding hearts here on flickr and everywhere else, but being exausted after 10 hours travel I did not have enough energy for something else. Due to railway workers strike in Finland I lost my airplane tickets and had to buy new tickets and go a different, very long route. I was so tired that I fell asleep before I could post this one yesterday evening, so it appears in the group pool just only this morning - those are consequences of strike. :-)
