A glorious day in the Colorado rockies enjoying peak fall color...
led to gathering stuff at our feet...
the colors and texture of the season...
placed just so...
to create a colorful mandala
...it doesn't get much better.
Here I am.
this is the art of remembering to walk in gratitude.
thank you for a moment of pure beauty, in a shrine as ephemeral as the seasons.

Wonderful!!! I love that you created it on your walk for anyone else who may pass that way or not. Those are great little saw tooth leaves! Thank you for always being so wonderful in your comments. It really is much appreciated.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.

It's wonderful. I have a lot of those pine cones in my backyard as we have a lot of pine trees. Looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing your walk and creation.

this is such a beautiful tribute to Mother Nature and her seasonal changes. I want to do the same here...but everything is brown...I am pondering a monotone mandala.You have inspired me to celebrate the weakest moment of or beloved Earth and create art, in spite of the wretched conditions.

Oh how I love this post! This morning as I was having coffee, I made a list of what I wanted to do today. Then I check out my favorite blogs and came to this post. My list is everything you did with your girlfriends. Can't for the sun to raise.
XXOO
