Grape Hyacinths

Grape Hyacinths remind me of Spring! Now that we are in the dead of winter I would like to be reminded that there is hope for warmer weather, and plants coming to life again after the cold. Guess I should dig out the seed catalogues. Almost the New Year!

Capitol Show

The Aurora Artists Guild is showing their art work at the State Capitol Dec 2017 to March 2018 - I have three pieces in the show.

Another summer flower - the center of a lotus.

Merry Christmas!

Well the tree is up - some ornaments and cookies made - now it's time for the Christmas Letters! Celebrate the Season and Enjoy!

dance of the stamen

The last three mandala have stamen-that's because they are at the heart of all flowers, also at the heart of the seed making goal of the flower - to provide for the next generation. Waxing philosophical here.

Day Lily from summer

I'm surprised sometimes going back over mandala for the year to find ones that jump out at me. This day lily was one, The Christmas tree is going up today!

yikes!

Yikes - it's December already and Christmas is 22 days away! I have a wreath on the door and that's about it. Good thing there are still a few more days ahead. Image is the center of a hibiscus.
