A mum with great shapes...








Westonbirt Arboretum, a short drive away, is a spectacular world of 18,000 trees from all over the world, planted from 1829 until today. Last year in February, I went for a stroll in this spectacular universe of shapes and foliage. The light was very flat that day, and the buds only modestly announcing the new season, but the shapes were there, my beloved moss offering its evergreen beauty, the sensual expressions of Mother Nature in a good mood.

We had a good day together that day, Mummy Nature and I.

Wherever I lay my heart...

Funny that, how so many hearts seem to sneak their way into my world. So when it was time for their annual "Hearts In Da House Gathering", I thought I'd help out a little by offering them a place to hang out. And there they are, perched between the beautifully delicate plants which in Swedish bear the fitting name "Hearts on String".

I do not think they will stay there for long though. I can hear the wooden letters scraping their feet in the next room, eager to get back on to their shelf.

But for now, I am going to let my heart(s) rule.
