Belated 4th of July

Had a good picture of the flag so I made a mandala with words. Hope you enjoyed your 4th of July!

Bubble Reflections

My grand-kids were blowing bubbles on the deck in the mountains. One bubble that landed in the shade had nice colors and the upright deck slats reflected in it.

Moss Rose

Planted a moss rose at the base of a cactus outside. Plant was hanging over edge of the planter and made a nice filigree in the 5 pointed star that the mandala created. Cactus is in the middle, you can see the spines if you look closely.

Glass ball the previous mandala came from.

Glass Ball

On the way out of the Gardens, you have to pass thru the edge of the gift shop - there were glass ball ornaments on display with the light shining thru them, I liked the colors, thus the mandala above.

tulips

Another spring flower the tulip. The Denver Botanic Gardens was full of tulips with the sun shining through the colorful petals. I liked the shadows at the center of this mandala.

May Day

This bouquet of pansies and some grape hyacinth toward the middle are appropriate Spring flowers for May Day (a little late). Weather has warmed up a bit and the snow finally melted, but it feels like there is a chill in the air still.
