Mothers nature is the best, very interesting!

Excellent image and light. There is a maori word "Koru" ..which relates to the scroll like shape of the NZ fern plants. Used a lot in maori art & carving symbolising new life.You are your own artist here !!! Lovely

Interesting about the maori word - I will research maori art as I already know and love first nation coastal art from Canada. Thanks for the appreciative comments!
