original green plant

Not Grass but "grass like" I liked the patterns the plant base created in the center of the earlier mandala.

patterns in green

‘Patterns of Grass’ Another mandala inspired by a plant (not grass) in Rob Proctor’s garden-from the tour on August 25th.

Flower Fireworks

I love flowers, their color, their various shapes. This one reminded me of fireworks. We made it to September with some heat, fortunately, it's cooling off this week in Colorado.

stripped cana with pink

Strips get me every time and the touch of an out of focus pink flower just added to the mandala. From a fun garden tour fund raiser. Enjoy!

Clouds over the pass

Clouds billowing over Loveland Pass. I just love clouds!

Nicotiana

The Nicotiana flower is from the tobacco plant. I bought this one when I was taking a class on fragrant plants this spring. This big plant smells wonderful - the sent has been bred out of the smaller versions! The long tubular flowers made interesting patterns.

train

Not a flower, but long line of train cars on side of the road. Liked the pattern that formed. Was on my way to Palmer Lake for art show when I saw this, train cars, ground, sky and a telephone pole!
