Flower Fix – Mandalas & Bundles of Joy

Spring is almost here. That time of earth’s rebirth.  There are a few flowers blooming in St. Louis now. Lenten rose, crocus, winter aconite and snow drops have opened. Their small flowers are such a joy to see, but their small size sometimes isn’t enough. I need a bigger flower fix.

That’s when I go to the wholesale flower district to walk into the coolers full of flowers in all directions. The flowers are in tight bundles.  Like babies wrapped in blankets, these are bundles of joy.  Their flower energy opens my heart and fills it with joy.  I stand there as long as I can without looking too strange as I fill up with the flower’s beauty.  Then I take photos with my IPhone to carry the images with me.

I create mandalas with the photos through the App Kaleidagram (part of Blink Tap LLC) * to enjoy the flowers again and feel the energy of mandalas.   Here is what I immersed myself in recently.

I love the ability to easily create mandalas through my phone camera. When I take photos of flowers  (or other  nature scenes) I can transform that beauty into the beauty and embrace of a mandala too.

*Full disclosure, the Kaleidagram app was developed (along with Textography, Dotography, Mosiagram all part of Blink Tap LLC for IPhone and Android ) by my son. Here’s the Facebook page.

I’d use it and love it even if it wasn’t his creation.

ENJOY & CREATE
