I hope some day to meet God, because I want to thank Him for the flowers. ~ (Robert Brault)
When I visited “Canada Blooms” yesterday, my heart resonated and echoed these words. The flowers were magnificent and it was truly a taste of what we are all looking forward to seeing outdoors in the not too distant future. In my last post, as I mentioned, I had not yet started collaging or blogging. I have also never used several collages in one post. However, in this post I will share several photos that I took yesterday and made into collages. Springtime is truly not very far away.
- Landscape Gardening
- Cakes made of Plant Material
| “Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | |
| Creative minds were definitely at work here. We tend to think of creativity and talent as musical and artistic ventures of the highest order – for the Mozart’s and Van Gogh’s. These beautiful cake designs, while inedible, are truly masterpieces and works of art as far as I’m concerned. I had lots of fun seeing and taking these images and making this collage. |
We all like flowers in their natural settings. However, we just don’t feel good about not having them indoors when we have special occasions. These tables were magnificent with their lovely white tablecloths, fine chinaware, and, of course, flowers. The images in the middle of the collage were part of other floor displays. Enjoy!
- Flowers in Purple and Pink
These pink and purple tulips – with a few sprinklings of white ones in between, were stunning. Those of us with gardens are waiting with bated breath for the first arrival of our own tulips in the not too distant future. I used the other images because they were beautiful and enhanced the collage.
It was lots of fun doing the collages for this post. I’m glad that I didn’t miss this year’s show. Hope you enjoyed the flowers.
