It's always an adventure!

We had a grand time at the zoo with Daughter, Son-in-law, the Bean and the Duke for his birthday celebration.  We also met friends of the family there with their daughter too.  Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa is amazing.  It's well laid out, clean, with enough interactivity to keep even the littlest ones interested.  The Dinosaur Tour was wonderfully done with twists and turns and dinosaurs at every one.  They moved and roared and so did the Bean and her friend.

Tuesday, TDH and I took a day trip to Peace River and Lake Okeechobee.  It is SouthEast of us and took a little over 2 hours to get home after all day, but definitely worth it.  Wood Storks, Black and Turkey Vultures all standing together on the banks of the Okeechobee was really something to see.

The jewelry I made this week was along those lines.  This first one I call Forest Magic, it reminds me of a potion bottle - all sorts of flights of the imagination can happen looking into it.

This next one is a Forest Sprite.  I just couldnt' resist adding her wild hair.

Then, of course, I had to make a tree in the Forest - The Tree of Life, but it's slightly canted as life is sometimes.

My last effort this week is a stylized Forest Goddess. 

I've sure enjoyed creating this week, so much inspiration in nature, so little time to get them done.

Have a wonderful weekend, be well.
