Murals

There’s something so beautiful about painting a flower one day and the next day it’s curled up and in the process of decaying. The circle of life and death is so visually apparent in a potted plant. As one flower dies, another sprouts, then blooms. It’s a continual process that can’t be separated. The flower isn’t afraid it’s going to die, it just blooms fully, because it can.

There are spots around Evergreen Lake at Oak Openings Metropark that have the ability to stop you in your tracks. In Fall, the trees around the lake start to change and the water reflects vivid yellows, oranges, and reds. This is one of my favorite lookouts–where I feel protected by the tall oaks above me, and in awe of the millions of colored lights bouncing off the water and twinkling through the branches and leaves.
