For the last ten years I have placed bits of the plants that grow all around me on my scanner to freeze the moment at which I found them.
The things that lie on the ground are unnoticed by most. But I see them, am delighted by them and show them to others in a way that allows them to appreciate the common, and the overlooked.
All of these things were picked up within 3 or 4 hundred yards of my front door in Pt. Richmond, California
