Being inspired today by the colors, textures, and variations found in nature.  I’m definitely one of those people who can’t leave an experience in nature without picking up something small (*and not alive, mind you) to remember their experience by.  Just looking at these items I’ve collected I’m reminded an afternoon at the beach on Cape Cod, a hike in the White Mountains of NH, a walk through Central Park in NYC, a rocky shoreline on an island in Maine, and a path at my favorite nature sanctuary near my home.

Bringing the outdoors inside is definitely a good thing.
