Spring Burst Mandala - (Circles of Spring Series) - © Sue O'Kieffe 2009
source image - ornamental plum tree leaf buds
Yesterday on a morning walk I noticed the ornamental plum trees are starting to bud. When I first moved to California more than twenty years ago, watching these delicate pale pink flowers blossom while the world east of this coastal paradise was blanketed in snow excited me no end. I would suspect that by this time next Saturday the trees will be totally in bloom.
I hope over the next couple of weeks to follow the progress of this plum tree's opening. It is such a pleasure for me to record the natural beauty of my surroundings that inspire me so.
This is my 241st blog post. When I reach post #250 in about two weeks, I will be announcing details for an opportunity to win a mandala intuitively created by me for the winner. Stay tuned for more details.
And don't forget to visit my analog blog, Sue Doodles. Change is in the air!

I have given you a blog award, a butterfly award. check out my blog to claim your award.
Keep up the inspirational work.

Hi, Sue. Your digital nature mandalas are inspiring. Thanks.
Way cool...It looks like it is made from feathers.
nice Mandala :)
Your Spring Burst Mandala reminds me of a dream catcher.
This one exudes life - fearthers of warm gods at play inthe heavens lighting up clouds near sunset.....
todfay it might be 50 degreees here....cannot wait to thaw.
I see that you are still the master mandala maker. You are the MMM. It's a title you could carry. This one of the plum buds is especially lovely, but all of them usually are. You outclass everybody else. I will go see your doodles next.
I see Sea Anemones... ocean flowers... well they are really animals, but you catch my drift. (smile)
It is amazing what can be achieved by a humble photo!
