i keep finding treasures

I keep finding treasures.


Something caught my eye walking by this little tree in the middle of a parking lot on Sunday.


It looked like trash, but it was little birds, made of metal, wire, hot glue, and some kind of tape. I didn't have my cell phone with me so I couldn't take any pictures, but I thought about them that night and decided to go back the next day.


Here is one.


Here is the underside of another.


I was looking at the birds and almost didn't notice the flowers, they weren't noticed at all the first day, the colors blended into the twigs and leaves on the ground. I picked up one flower, then another, then another. There are five altogether.


I saw that one of the flower bulbs had a baby, or a fetus, shape. This was such a sweet surprise. The baby shape is cut metal, with paper around it. Metal stems with metal roots. Sorry my camera is not so good with detail.


So then I looked carefully at all the flowers, to see if they also had baby shapes. This startled me, it is a girl's profile. Can you see the ponytail?


This one is a dancing girl. The photo is awful, and the metal shape is difficult to distinguish from the paper surrounding it. They all have special shapes.

This experience had everything.
