NB: 9TH DEC, 2013: Apologies for the missing photos which I've just discovered here. Will be attempting to repost this soon! Sophie Munns
These are a few of the drawings from the past week or so. Excuse the brevity of my notes whilst posting so late tonight!
This image I found in the libary and was drawn to it ... being a fossil seed image... a cupole that was imprinted in the rock and if from Devon, England (late devonian period).

A jacaranda seed that I was able to put nder the Microsope to see in great detail... The jacaranda tree was omnipresent in the town I grew up in... and even though it is from South America it was well loved and adopted as if a native. |
Acorn 'cups' I found walking the grounds
this one have yet to get the name of... below is the other end of the pod. |
 |
these I picked up in Cornwall... |
 |
| From Mexico |
 |
| From South Africa |

| native to tropical America |
From Lebanon .. up close this was an intriguing structure.
Below is the drawing I did when it was under the Microscope.
I'll be posting more images when possible. Its been a fascinating week indeed!
NB: just found the images not there- 28th January 2013. Don't know what has happened...
