I love roses and this one’s a beaut! It’s called a Mardi Gras Rose. I love the vibrant, rich colors of this one and you just know this one smells delicious!
Yes, I do stop to smell roses when I’m out walking. My appreciation for them came from my mother. She loved them. She planted beautiful roses all along the whole front edge of our yard.
In Corvallis we have two wonderful locations to experience roses: along the paved path in our own Central Park and in the beautiful Rose Garden at Avery Park.

And if you happen to be in Portland, Oregon (about 95 miles north of C, visit their spectacular rose garden with amazing views of the city and Mt. Hood. As a matter of fact, roses are such a big deal in Portland, they have their own Rose Parade and Festival every June.

Be sure to stop to smell the roses!

My Mission: awakening our Creative Spirit in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
