Most girls are bedazzled by clothes, shoes and
jewelry but I get ‘googly eyed’ when I see bush. Sure from a distance all bush
looks alike but with an observant eye one can see how each leaf, flower and
blade of grass grows in different shapes, sizes and curls in different
directions. So being excited about taking a hike through the bush I felt
compelled to touch and collect everything I saw but one thing stood out to me.
I looked across and saw this big leaf that was dried to a redish bronze and it
took my breath away when touched by the sunrays peaking through the tall trees.
When I picked it up I felt like I found a rear gold that was
priceless in my eyes but I was not sure what to do with my newly discovered
prized possession. I thought maybe it would make a good hat but then the wind
would be a problem. With a homemade, boxed frame it can be a nice wall hanging
for my room but I can’t think of anyway to preserve the leaf so that in some
years time it would not disintegrate into dust. I want to find a way to
preserve the leaf while adding an artistic touch to it or maybe I may just have
to settle with some pictures and a painting. Any suggestions are welcomed. You
can view these and other pictures from my hike in the Photobucket album.
