According to the World Resources Institute,
more than 80 percent of the Earth’s natural forests already have been destroyed.
DID YOU KNOW? An area of forest equal to 50 baseball fields is lost every minute!

    This is a terrific piece! Great composition – I didn’t see the baseball right away, but I was very drawn to the piece. And, of course, now that I see the baseball, it’s obvious. You made some very strong choices with this – it just looks great…and it makes me miss baseball season…

    Beautiful! And what a clever way to merge two images.
    It also has an inviting sense of getting me to look deeper, to fall in.

    Holy cow, Lisa! I LOVE this! At first it looks like a baseball, and then it feels like I’m looking up at the sky from the floor of a forest. I am in awe of your talent.
    Nice quotes and facts.

    Lisa, how cool is this? You always come up with super-original ideas… And I agree with studio lolo about your quotes, they always make me think or smile or both! Btw, I’m doing my Robin Redbreast inspired mini-makeover now, I’ll let you know when it’s all done and I’ve posted the photos. Have a lovely weekend!
