gathering

I love this small collection of photos I have come across recently. I have always admired the idea of gathering flowers, seashells, fronds, pine cones, rocks and other natural things that you find in nature, usually on the ground. I sometimes forget to do it. My mother and sister are gatherer's. I think that is why I admire it. As a kid I would watch them picking up pine cones and twigs and think, wow, what a great idea.
