Local Fauna Inspires

Warm weather always lifts my spirit and I love to run and hike.  There are so many cool, little plants in my area.  I wish I knew all their species names.  Seems I find something new every time I go for a run or hike! I gathered a few specimens and made these little jewels.



The little owl is sitting on a root I found while running on a new trail in the woods.  The condensation on the glass reminds me of a foggy morning and the little "tree" sprouting up behind the old root of the "fallen mother tree" looks like a young pine tree...makes me want to name my terrariums!                                                          



After a week in this one, things are starting to stand up and a new fern frond has unfurled!  I didn't realize that center plant had grown so much until I put these pics side by side!
 
Week 1
Day 1
I love making these!
