grass sprouts, trees bud (6/72)
(working as part of a ‘Japanese 72 season micro-climate’ artist collaborative initiative within Treesisters)
Japanese season called ”Usui’/Rainwater 19th February until March 5th.
Micro climate ‘grass sprouts, trees bud’ 1st – 5th March.
Keeping it simple this month as so much going on in my personal life it is difficult to keep up.
All change.
Feel as if so many of us are feeling the full force of coming into alignment, all surrounded by frantic budding and blossoming.
Even many of the spring flowers are out of sync to the norm….

I made a couple of mandalas from photos taken on my wanders. Loving the little winged, ‘viking’ helmets I can see in the paperbirchbud mandala at the top! They actually had horned, rather than winged helmets…but it fits with my increasingly Norse leaning and fascination with Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life.
