329 – Psychedelic Pluto Mandala

Now this is more like the way I would color a planet if given the opportunity!

Earlier this year, NASA’s New Horizons did it’s closest flyby past the last known planet in our solar system: Pluto. Since then, scientists have been working with (or in this case coloring with) the data to gain more insight about this adorable planet’s surface.

323 – Guava Mandala

What a beautiful marriage of pink and green…given to us by our lovely Mother Nature. Cut in half horizontally, we see this perfectly round circle of fruit.

Glass Float on the beach in Lincoln City, OR

309 – Glass Float Mandala

I love this idea! It started with the 1999-2000 season. In Lincoln City, OR, local glass artisans create beautiful, one-of-a-kind glass floats for the LC Visitor and Convention Bureau’s annual “Finders Keepers” event. They “hide” the floats along the tide lines along the coast, inviting people visit Lincoln City to search for their own brilliantly-colored, signed and numbered glass float.
