Steps up

Step 1: Last week, when we were still

 nesting, 

I was at a loss about how to proceed,

so I went to the park with my camera

       Step 2: I found these locust tree pods that 

     were beautifully curled and I filled my pockets.

               Step 3:  The next week, after about a minute of effort, there was a bird, and here is the photo!

I love it when that happens!

Seed steps

Day steps and night steps

Steps to the recycle bin.

I decided to deconstruct last week's drawing class eye tower,

and photograph the steps.

So the tower, with the tape off, folded, became rickety steps.

Cut, became a spiky forest,  folded and tucked, a messy bouquet,

squished, a corsage gone wild, and finally, small enough to fit in the bin.
