Gifts from the earth are my favorites wherever I am. Traveling does reduce the amount collected but I feel the need to accept the gift for my memories.

Gifts from the Earth, shells, rocks, sea glass, drift wood, quils, feather

Living mostly in landlocked Arizona, ocean beach sand instead of desert sand intrigues me.  Yet even in the desert I may find sea shells.  Though I wouldn’t find a porcupine big enough to loose these quills or an ostrich to drop a feather.

 

How do you collect memories from your travels?
