Patterns, patterns, and more patterns. We are surrounded by patterns. Our lives are made up of patterns. Our daily routine is punctuated with patterns.
This week’s photo challenge, sent me back to my collection of photos taken in 2010 at the Buddhist Temple in Miami, Florida. I was beyond delighted with the mandala sand paintings by the monks.
I remember standing as quiet as a mouse, eyes fixed on the monks as they patiently created their works of art. I was truly in awe. I took these photos with my Nikon Coolpix L3.
Beautiful things are meant to be shared!
