Victoria amazonia

August 18, 2017 by admin

The water lilies and lotus are out in a splendid display at the Denver Botanic Gardens Monet Pool. Even with cooler summer temperatures the Victoria Amazonia lily is blooming (they like it hot). It is the lily with giant lily pads – so the expanse of blank space in the mandala above is the surface […]

August 7, 2017 by admin

The water lilies are in their prime. Beautiful of course. I liked the sparkles of light at the edge of the lily pad.

water lily glow

September 4, 2014 by admin

Loved the glow from taking a picture of the lily from the back side – the lily was leaning over in the water and the morning sun was illuminating it.

water lily star

August 25, 2014 by admin

The pentagon shape/star that formed in the center, sets off the mandela, with the half opened water lily bud anchoring the corners. There was movement in the water so no perfect reflection but I like the shimmer.

butterfly on a cold day

April 3, 2014 by admin

This Butterfly from the Butterfly Pavilion got into moisture condensing on their windows – because it was a cold day outside, just like today. He did fly off after getting free of the surface tension. When I measured outside today there was about 6 inches of snow in my back yard. It was melting and […]

one waterlily

September 26, 2013 by admin

Here is one mandala of a waterlily, I liked it for the soft pastel colors, which seemed peaceful to rest the eye on. Certainly not as bold as the sunflowers.

Water Lilies

August 29, 2013 by admin

Making mandalas from water lilies has not worked out well, so after a recent trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens. I had to post these glorious pictures of the water lilies there. There were flowers blooming all over the gardens and I will share them with you in the coming weeks.
