My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
After dinner last night I walked around the gardens with my camera. This sunflower plant is about five feet in height. Since it was backlit, a photo opportunity appeared and I accepted it. Hope to get in some exploring time in this weekend in between reading.
I like how the Mercy Center has plants all over the place. There is very little grass as they have planted these wonderful flowers and a vegetable garden. One section is almost all raspberries which are very good. And, of course along with the flowers come the bees, butterflies and other insects.
The Mercy Center non-profit operated by a Catholic group of people called the Missionaries of Mercy, which offer sabbaticals, retreats and workshops for religious and lay. It is made of tow houses converted to a accommodate several people in each house with private rooms and baths. They have a Mercy Center that has 5 rooms upstairs and conference, training and counseling rooms on the lower level. Another house is a kitchen and dining area as well as a meeting room above. This figure of Mary is outside of the dining room.
Have some homework and laundry to do this afternoon which works since it’s suppose to rain.
