Hazel Box

Hazel Box, originally uploaded by e s c h e r.

The temperature has dropped today after several days of warmth. The first dandelions appeared a few days ago and I want to do something with them.

The drop in temperature means none of the flowers have opened today, now it is lunchtime and I am still waiting.

It is also very windy so anything fragile would not survive. I have had to resort to some indoor photography until the weather improves and the dandelions show their little yellow faces.

This box is made from hazel twigs with a line of tiny, fresh hazel leaves hanging in the middle. The have only appeared in a last few days and are wrinkled like toes in the bath as they wait to expand to full size.
