193 – Raspberry Thumbprint Mandala
When I spotted these Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies on Elana’s Pantry’s site the other day, I knew I had to showcase them…mostly for sentimental reasons. My mom used to make these every Christmas; she was a fabulous baker. And when I was old enough, she let me help her make them.
192 – Toroidal Vortex Mandala
Today’s MotD comes to us via Dolphins making and playing with bubble rings (toroidal vortices). Torenheksje uploaded this video on youtube.com that was originally filmed and editted by chiajungchi.
191 – Orpheus Mandala
Continuing her travels in Morocco, my friend Michelle, visited the archeological site of Volubilis where she photographed this Roman mosaic of Orpheus and wild animals in the House of Orpheus, which dates back to 300 AD.
190 – Seven Pointed Star Mandala
My local friend, Ella, recently visited High Country Gems & Minerals rock shop in Glenwood Springs, CO, where the owner, Patti Rock Star, shared with Ella this beautifully stunning seven pointed star pattern imbedded inside a geode. What an AMAZING creation by Mother Nature. And SEVEN points? Wow!
187 – Orchids and Mums Danmala
Kathy Klein creates beautiful danmalas (the giving of flower circles) using a variety of flower blossoms. In this case, she used orchid petals and mum flowers.
The striking contrast between the deep maroons/purples of the orchids and the white mums makes this danmala really pop against the wood background. The dash of yellow warms it up.
185 – Red, White and Blue Mandala
This beautiful and delightful red, white and blue, berry cake and photograph comes to us today from the great people of our local establishment, Eats and Treats Cafe…a totally gluten-free cafe. I LOVE their food…both savory and sweet.
