I use to collect acorns, rocks and nature in my backpack. Each day I would daydream and something would caught my eyes smooth rocks, shaped and dusty. Acorns big as a thumb with caps or none at all. Or flowers and leaves of different shades. Some fresh, some dead. I enjoyed such treasures, still do. Yet when I see them now its hard to pick them up for the world stares and judge. Or if I have the courage, my friend would kick it. Letting it cross the parking lot, only to decide to kick it or to place it in my backpack. I not being myself kick it with the laughter of my friends, yet so much discourage of my action. |

I still enjoy collecting the "simple" things. I especially love the "helicopter" seeds... (maple maybe?) |

I love to see things of nature and leave them where they are, mainly to serve the purpose they are there for, and secondly for others to enjoy. Owl |

Ken, you should come see my collection of stones, and dead seedpods! I even transplanted weeds into a little patch because you know, weeds are really flowers that no one appreciates. On my window sill I have a figure arranged from different shaped stones and in a pretty little bowl all the stones I collected on a beach in Washington State. I enjoyed your kicking stones around and flipping them into the backpack. latearrival |

Sunshine- Much love and thanks  Secondhanddreampoet- Thanks for reading Nareena- I love helicopter seeds, except when they hit me in the forehead always the forehead.  OwlSA- I do at times, but others I can't resist. Thank you  Latearrival- I wouldn't mind seeing your collection it sounds wonderful. I use to go to the beach or rivers to collect seashells but I haven't been their since 8. |
