It's a small world after all...

The other day I took Griffin for a walk down on part of the Galloping Goose trail

that is rich with moss and lichen and arbutus trees.

I was so taken by the many shades, textures and colours and I decided

to gently bring home some tiny bits of this vast world

to create my own miniature landscape...

 I used this old, thick glass fish bowl that I bought in a thrift store in Seattle years ago.

Put some various shapes and sizes of rocks in the bottom for drainage.

 I needle felted a few tiny sheep to settle in amongst the minuscule hills and fallen trees...

The variations of greens takes me back to my days in Ireland...

Jose Ortega y Gasset

So much in this world is walked over and missed.

When Dr Seuss wrote 'Horton hears a Hoo' I knew exactly what he was thinking.
