| Flower Press This is done by simply putting flowers and leaves in between pages of heavy books, like a dictionary. |
Seth and I figured that flowers and plants would be the first to die out.
We realized this when the site of the familiar wild flowers became scarce.
The flowers that were blooming now could be their very last blooming.
Then I remembered the art of Flower Press.
I probably only did it once or twice when I was very young,
but not much up to know.
This way, I can somewhat remember what flowers looked like.
And also show people from the future
that these were what once grew all over the Earth
that these were what once grew all over the Earth

| This one we called Marigolds |

| These are blades of grass |
These are just a handful of grass from my neighbors' yard.
Not much of the healthy green grass that I once knew of is left.
Soon, there will only be a patch of brown and yellow dead grass.
It's a pity that I can't record the sent of grass...
Especially the smell of grass when they had just been cut during mid summer.
I used to hate that smell.
But I miss it now.
I still remember how the grass smelled under my nose as I laid down with Seth
during the sudden eclipse that took place during school.

| This one Honeysuckles |
These are Honeysuckles. One of my favorite flowers around my area.
Like it's name, the flower has a very sweet scent.
I was not able to find another honeysuckle after this one.

| This one we call rose bush |
It used to bloom wonderful roses of vivid colors during the summer.
The flowers had withered away and so is the bush itself.
Sylvia still sometimes tend to it, but seems like the bush is already dying and there is nothing left for us to do.
I wish it could bloom one more time.
Just one more time.

| This one we called Maple Leaves |
One by one, plants not only around California,
but around the world will die and soon go extinct.
This is why were are collecting what's left of them.
