Sand Mandalas
These are constructed over time. Sometimes minutes, sometimes days, sometimes weeks.
They're photographed at each juncture and eventually scattered to begin anew.
Such is life.
No art is permanent.
Life's nature is impermanence.
This slowly becomes this...
Then this...
And...
Finally it became.....

The mums have been cleaned, cut and rearranged, probably a last time.
Last of the mums for 2013
The cooler they're kept, the longer they stay.
This one started out bright purple.
It's finishing full with a lovely faded white center.
The pastel yellows have finished from
Brighter yellow and mixes now with apricot and
Lavender, gold and faded pink.
Early season mums

Of all the flowers, mums take 1st place
As far as I'm concerned they're by far the most amazing!
In these photos are some of the flowers I grow. And vases, pitchers, and sculptures I make.
I've enjoyed creating so much in my life, and at last I've found mums again. These of the more
High bred variety.
I see why the Japanese have chosen it for their National Seal!

Addicted to Kiku
Everyday these beautiful cultivars become more interesting, hues brighten, then soften,
The lighting changes appearances. No wonder this
Chrysanthemum is the symbol of Japan royal family and of the country.
Im so grateful for my Japanese friends and their inspiration. And I miss Japan sorely and love the beautiful country it is.
And my friends as well.

Spiders mums with other varieties, and below Gnomes, which I will bonsai soon

In todays world, beauty where we can create it, may be the best part of life.

Jet lag
Home to my own garden ...
Volcanoes from the flight at sunset great timing !
Three Sisters and St Helens?

Seattle upon landing
Spirea changed color while I gone..
Mums in a very old pitcher with melon stripes from a Mediterranean island
