Floral offerings in spring

In celebration of the first day of spring I thought I would share some images from a trip we took a few years ago to Thailand. I was so moved by the simple perfection of floral offerings and sacred gardens in the opulent temples of Bangkok.


What a gift - lotus blossoms

















No shoes in such a place of reverence


Offerings of gold shimmered with the slightest breeze sending rays of light dancing into the courtyard






A clear perfect balance is seen everywhere in the gardens simultaneously conveying a sense of control and a giving in to the whim of natures pure line and form




She seems so happy to receive this tiny garland of fragrant blooms


This giant tree was covered in the most curious blooms
