week 8

snow!

week 7

foggy day. leaves frame the mounds and separate them from the dark ground.

week 6

Today the cubes were the most similar to each other since the beginning.  They are almost all perfect cone shapes now, and their edges blend into fallen leaves.  More rain coming!

week 5

Week 4

The cubes are showing noticeable signs of wear.  Many of the are still solid, but the corners are getting rounder and rounder.  I was lucky to come at a time when this praying mantis was also visiting, and there is plenty of evidence that squirrels also visit frequently to eat their snacks.  Stay tuned for week 5 coming soon.

Week 3

Well, there are few changes since last week, except all the leaves that fell off the trees! The cubes are completely surrounded and shaded by trees.  I did not think about the affect of this aside from them shielding from the rain a little bit during the first week.  Now, some of the cubes that have fallen apart are almost completely hidden by leaves.  The leaves are really helping the earth disappear! Also, some long, skinny, yellow tree parts have fallen off the tree and are sticking out of some of the cubes.  I'll have to find out what they are, to be more specific.
