We spent the day with a dear friend today. When we were walking to meet him, I was enjoying the sight of many beautiful flowers, but these really took my breath away.

| Bill commented that these look like fabric--I agree--there were some red and yellow ones, too, but these grabbed my attention--love the colour |

Before we left, the postman delivered a book I'd been eagerly awaiting and when I opened the package, I was immediately smitten with the cover art, which is called Lotus Flower from Pond and is a brush painting in the Gongbi style by Yue Juan. There is a Buddhist saying which I love and remind myself of often--no mud, no lotus. I think this painting is absolutely gorgeous.
It was a nice day and very productive. I hope the same is true for you!
