[ritaxis]

We usually pick up a little trash when we go to Lighthouse Field or Its Beach. There were spent fireworks all over the beach this morning -- I don't know why, unless it's early Cinco de Mayo -- and some that were not spent, which we kept.

The nice fellow said "you could make a bouquet of these. They're beautiful."

I decided I would. The composition is courtesy of a perpetually messy kitchen.
