geranium

The stalwart of the garden, the geranium! I keep sticking cuttings of my salmon colored geraniums in other pot so now have several plants now! you can always count on them for color in the garden. Liked the simplicity of this mandala.

I enjoyed the soft pastel colors in this picture and the geese flying. They really were in a 'V' formation as they went by, the kaleidoscope program made it into a tighter 'V'.

praying mantis

You really have to look closely to see the mantis as he became part of the design element of the Celtic cross. You have to look closely when they are in your garden as well - they are so still, they blend in with the foliage. He was a fun summer discovery!

geranium and bud

More than anything else the colors in this mandala were pleasing  to me.  Just felt calm and soothing to me.  We need something calm and soothing after the several fires that broke out yesterday.  The one in the Black Forest area is burning houses.  The geranium bud is hanging down toward the center, the flower is pointing out toward the sides.
