Around the Corner . . .

I am sure, spring is just around the corner,

somewhere!

change ....

The autumn inspired piece stayed up well beyond its time.

Now that we are approaching Valentines Day, I wanted to share a rose.

Mandarin Orange Monday ~ #68 {artistic autumn}

As we near Thanksgiving, I would like Lori, the host of Mandarin Orange Monday,

to know how much I appreciate her willingness to give of herself

by creating a site that allows myself and many others to share their work.

Thank you.

Mandarin Orange Monday ~ #67 {New Mexico Sunset}

“Orange? Like Effie's hair?" I say.

"A bit more muted," he says. "More like sunset.”

The photo was taken of the bronze statute of Kateri Tekakwitha

outside the St. Francis Cathedral Basilica in Santa Fe, NM.

Kateri Tekakwitha, a Catholic American Indian who became known as the Lily of the Mohawks
 was named the first Native American saint by Pope Benedict XVI in a ceremony held in St. Peter's Square in October of 2012.

Mandarin Orange Monday ~ #65 {autumn colors}

We have had a strange fall, not the glorious colors of a typical fall ...

rather bursts of color here and there.

We have also had a lot of early hard freezes,

which caused a lot of the leaves to just turn brown

While at the Capitol this past week, there were spots of color

which I took advantage of for Mandarin Orange Monday.
