EXPLORER - How to be an explorer of the world (exploration #4)

Today I made a daily walk with my dog. And the exploration was: collect objects only on your way to work or school every day. Well I wasn't on my way to work or school but a daily walk with my dog is also a routine. I collected 10 items that you can see in the photo bellow.

1. leaf
2. piece of paper from a peppermint
3. straw
4. little feather
5. dandelion
6. little stone
7. piece of rubber
8. maple seeds
9. daisy
10. grass

These objects are not very special on its own. But when I did this exploration I lost my tunnel vision. I looked around with a wide perspective. And then in the beginning it's a little bit odd to pick things from the ground. But if you see them together you see the path that I walked today. You see a bit of nature and a bit from humans. You can also see it as an interweaving between human and nature. Because we pollute the world, and because of that the world becomes unhealthier. Also object 8 is a maple seed. But when I saw this I thought of something I did when I was a kid. We used to call them: 'rhinos' because we used to split them in 2 and put them on our noses like we were rhinos. It sounds weird but it made me laugh again. So you don't expect to find things on a walk that have a meaning to you. It was fun to do!
