Moss

This week the challenge is Moss.

This is an Easter wreath I made using dried moss, twigs, feathers and quail eggs.  A little late for Easter but it fits the challenge well!

Orange Feathers and Marbled Books

I found a beautiful orange feather 

while sorting out my studio.

I also found a very old marbled book in a charity shop.

Somehow they seemed to go together.

I saved the dandelion seed head from the lawn mower last week and the dried rose is from my last 'big' birthday!

RIP Little Sparrow

 I love nests, eggs, birds, feathers, insects and any quirky, unusual or dead things I might come across.  So when I found a dead sparrow on my patio a few weeks ago I went through a mixture of emotions starting with sadness and then turning to excitement at the opportunity to photograph it!  I think this little sparrow was in the process of being eaten by a Sparrowhawk, as we've been seeing one around our area lately - and I prefer to think of him providing a much needed meal, rather than dying as a cat's play thing!
