Reflection on blooming lotus flowers, lotus buds and lotus leaves. The lotuses sit on images of lotus seed pods, damselflies and lily pads evoking the feel of the pond from which it came and detailing its environment.

Focusing on patterns, mainly in their garden, Dick and Rosanne’s photographic images celebrate the graceful and extraordinary sacred geometry of nature. The photos are enhanced by reflecting images making new patterns that evoke the meditative and reflective qualities of mandalas. This draws you deeper into the image as your mind becomes more engaged with what it is seeing. The often-spectacular forms and shapes of common plants that might have otherwise gone unnoticed are revealed. New patterns and details emerge. New stories are told. New worlds are revealed among the mundane reality we live in.

This work has given them an increased appreciation of their environment and nature in general. They hope it does the same for you. With a focus on nature, you find this is an incredible place to be.
