Nuts & berries
December 18, 2009
Walking through the garden I came across several still-life arrangements of pyracantha berries and buckeyes from the Mexican buckeye tree.
Who collected and arranged them so deliberately? No squirrel or raccoon, that’s for sure.
My daughter and her friends like to make collections from the garden for arranging on the Lion King rock. I never know what I’ll find there.

Pam, That is so cool../.what a treat to find their natural sculptures when you are walking in your garden. gail
Very artistic and the colors really pop, Pam! Rocks make the best background for so many things. I admire their ingenuity. 🙂

What a lively thing – it must be nice to find those little treats
So pretty, nice capture. Maybe they were leaving them for a critter to come & have a snack.
I like the red berries altho the black ones look good as well. I wonder if they taste as sweet as they look.
Hello Pam,
I love the way colorful berries brighten winter gardens. Have you noticed that when birds eat the Pyracantha berries that it makes them act drunk? It is funny to watch.
How lovely! Will you plant the buckeyes & start a tree nursery?
What a lovely idea on their part and such an unexpected pleasure on your part. And it suggests the garden gene is there in the next generation …
Isn’t it delightful that you have your own garden fairies?!!
Beautiful. We miss so much when we forget to look beyond the flowers in the garden.
Plenty for the creatures to munch on this time of year. Noticed the birds interest in the American beautyberry this past week. They are perching on the long branches while they pick the dark purple fruit.
Nice arrangement & the color is very nice too.
These are my favorite things in the CHristmas Season! Thank you for sharing your world.
Your blog always inspires.
So glad your daughter gets to spend time outside with her friends! And what great photos…
I do that in my garden, too … your daughter and her friends are kindred spirits of mine!
Children are so creative! Great “art” to surprise.
Happy Holidays!

How wonderful that your daughter loves nature. Peace and joy this holiday season.
You’ve given your daughter’s talents a place with some scope, Pam – who wouldn’t want a Lion King rock? Andy Goldsworthy better keep watch in his rear view mirror ;-]
Merry Christmas to all your family,
Annie at the Transplantable Rose
