    My goodness, this is beautiful! I so wish I had a garden like this. The colors are just marvelous. I wish I could see this up-close and personal so I could see how you used the wax paper. :))

    I really need to bookmark your site at work. Sometimes I could use a touch of serenity and beauty at the office.
    I love the Gandhi quotation, too! Ain’t it the truth.

    Lovely sense of depth in this. You seem to use rice paper a lot – what is it about rice paper that you like? I have never used it.
