Walking along the path that travels around our lower forest, I looked down and did a double-take when I saw this odd-looking shape on the ground. I was amazed when I realized it was an acorn! How beautiful decay can be! I decided to bring this acorn home so that I can put it on a spindle and take pictures all the way around it. When I got home, I took it out so Steve could see it, but by that time it had gotten dry and looked like a normal acorn with little holes! So I put it under the faucet and like magic, the beautiful acorn reappeared! SO COOL!! I'll be creating this special animated gif file in the next week or so when I have some time to fool around with this project! :)
