Oak tree catkins stuck into the cracks of the oak tree's bark.

Green apples arranged nest to the sidewalk along SW Hinds Street, West Seattle.

While walking the dog I stopped and spent a few moments arranging these green apples. SW Hinds Street, West Seattle.

Found on a sidewalk in Portland, Oregon. Placed a small rock on the paper for an eye.

Looks like a white dog wearing orange pants to me.

Muttley

Found the tree bark on the sidewalk. Rearranged the stringy material a bit to create a second leg and tail. Added teeth, eyes, and antennae from nearby plant parts.

ORANGE THUNDER!

Spotted the orange glove in an alley in Pittsburg. Assembled the other parts from nearby.

Red Reindeer

Today's snowfall brought with it a red reindeer to our balcony. He hung outside for awhile coming inside for some hot cocoa. Snowfall on December 9, 2016. Second floor balcony. Lit with Ice Light.

Leafing the Ball

Found this soiled napkin on the sidewalk and added plant parts from nearby.

Olaf's Spiritual Moment

While in a B&N bookstore I came across Olaf the snowman. At first I searched for a landscape book with a sunrise or sunset picture for Olaf to gaze upon, but instead I found Mona Freeman (1948) dressed in a bathing suit and a fur coat standing on imitation snow. After a few test shots with my phone, I decided to steal away to the back of the bookstore for a few more shots. It was purely by accident that I chose the spiritual section with the "Deliver Us From Evil" book page. Or was it?

Fallen Heart

Created this heart (18"x24") made from yellow leaves on top of a moss-covered, concrete block. Added "Watercolour Wash" texture from Evelyn Flint/Texture Time.

Little House on the Sidewalk Destroyed

Merely a day after completing their sidewalk dream home along 116th street in Kirkland, WA, the Ingalls family home was destroyed overnight by rain and the careless footsteps of giants with dogs. The family vows to rebuild, but in a quieter, less trafficked neighborhood.

Little House on the Sidewalk

Assembled near my home in Kirkalnd, WA.

Assembled out of sale items at Pottery Barn.

Broomhilda

Broomhilda uses her broom-like tail to gather debris, sweeping it into herself in order to grow. During dry windy months, she enjoys tumbling along down the side of the road. If it's wet out, Broomhilda heads into the woods to seek refuge under a tree or stump with a built-in den. Assemblage art from roadside debris and branches.

Made from plant debris found rolled together along the side of the road.

Gathering the Dead

Assembled in Crestwoods Park, Kirkland, WA

Rockaconda

Made this creature near Crestwoods Park in Forbes Creek, Kirkland, WA. The tongue was a forked stick , but someone added rocks, which I like better. 20' or longer.

She'll make you smile

Walk this way

Pesky Fly

This photo was the result of walking home from the gym, seeing something stuck under a rock (seen above), and discovering it to be a geocache. There were numerous other objects in the container, but I only needed these three to create the shot. I hope to print out the photo and put it in the geocache container tomorrow. Used one texture from www.KimKlassenCafe.com.
