Happy Chinese New Year!

Here it is the end of one month on our calendar and the start of the Chinese New Year.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any pictures of horses to create a mandala for it.  So I am going for the 'springtime' look to kick off the New Year.

This is a lupine I took a picture of last spring.  And as there is 3-4 inches of snow on the ground and it is expected to be below normal temperature wise for the next week, I thought I could use a little reminder of warmer days.
