John's Dahlia...

My neighbor's yard is tended with great tenderness & loving care.  This dahlia spoke to me last year and here's it's expression as a mandala.

"Aven's Clouds" mandala

A reminder to Aven to make friends with the clouds as they play and to remember those days when she's older.

This picture is the inspiration of the mandala above.

"Rainbow for Aven" mandala...

This mandala was made for Aven, a soon-to-be-born little girl who has a special place in my heart.
