nature walk ?

well living in the middle of the city makes it hard to escape on a good old fashion nature walk. the little bit of young country girl that is left in me still craves that every once in awhile and so i do my best. here are a few little inspiring nature things that i collected ona recent walk. obviously i don't pluck from yards but i figure whatever has fallen onto the sidewalk is fair game. here i have collected a bowl full of baby coconuts. yes these are the very immature baby cocnuts that have fallen form the tree. i have never seen these before; my husband, who is native to a tropical place, had to inform me. i also found this great branch all alone. i'm going to debark it, paint it and desplay it someway. and then these little spiny ball things. these are common in lots of places but i snatched a few for future photography or what not.
