How to Create Beautiful iPhone Cases
Thanks! I now think shells and the sea would be nice, too, on iPhone cases. I'm thinking of taking some shots this year when I go to the beach (after a protacted hiatus when things didn't work out for one reason or another) for this purpose.

Ecopsychology - How Wild Nature Can Heal The Broken Spirit
Kathleen, Thank you for spotlighting this topic of nature as healer. I grew up with great reverence for nature, and I appreciate the accessibility of nature: it isn't just "out there," in the wilderness; it can be in our back yard or city parks.

KathleenDuffy, Me, too, I love First Lady Caroline Harrison's painting of flowering dogwood.
I also appreciate botanical illustrations, and I am impressed, as well, with Victorian women who were natural history illustrators.
