On an August morning, fog shrouds Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast. Windswept cypress trees frame Haystack Rock in the distance. You can see the tiny forms of people and dogs walking on the beach.

Haystack Rock is protected as a marine sanctuary, as part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Haystack Rock is one of the most recognizable and popular attractions on the Oregon coast. Its intertidal area is one of Oregon’s seven Marine Gardens.

Mandala Monday ~ Summer Solstice

Jewels's avatarRamblings From Jewels

I was wanting to create a nature mandala last Friday for the summer solstice, but I didn’t want to pick any of the flowers or plants growing in my garden, and there wasn’t much laying around on the ground to collect.  So I got out my paints and grabbed one of the extra ceramic tiles I had and painted one instead…

I usually paint the surface of the tile with a background color before creating a design, but I decided to leave it white this time.  That made for a more slippery surface though, so don’t look too closely because there’s a few smeary blops.  Leaving it white also made some areas of the design a bit less prominent, and I’m not sure yet if I like that or not.  But I do love the bright sunny feeling this has, and I really enjoyed painting it!

Thanks for letting me…

IAVOM-Summer

Eliza Waters's avatarEliza Waters

flower arrangementWith the advent of summer solstice, many of the flowers I associate with warm, summer days have started blooming and it is hard to pick just a few with so many vying for my attention.

Caroline Lupine (Thermopsis caroliniana) has started its reign in the big garden (you can see its blurry, yellow mound to the right of the arrangement above). Smaller, secondary buds of the Peonies (Paeonia lactiflora) are now blooming, which make them perfect for vases.

A branch of Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia ‘Carousel’begged to be included, though it seems more red than pink in the photos. I love the pattern that looks like stitched smocking.

Thermopsis Thermopsis, Daisy

Purple Catmint (Nepeta racemosa) is a favorite addition for vertical accent and fillers of Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus) and Ox-eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) complete my first vase of summer.

I’m joining other gardeners at Rambling in the Garden’s
