Hiking Arrangements

This was a collaborative design with a hiking buddy. And we didn't use tools! 

The oaks with the lime green and yellow lichen covering it was so inspiring. It was as though the whole meadow color-coordinated.

San Luis Obispo, CA has some of the most beautiful hikes around. And I find that when I do make myself get out of the house to enjoy some of the natural beauty just outside my door, I do get inspired to create. I think that it's really important for those of us that have creative passion within spend this time for ourselves to really find how to translate our expressions from inside to material objects that perhaps others can understand and relate to. The above arrangement (though difficult to see its complexity against the dry creek bed) was a collaborative design with a hiking buddy. And we didn't use tools! Who knows, maybe I was just trying to be the next Andy Goldsworthy :)
