A Worthy Spot in the Garden 04_29_8.jpg

This image was taken at Wanda's request. She loves the canopy of blossoms over Buddha's head. Orrin G apparently enjoys this peaceful corner of the backyard and just had to be in the picture.

As usual Mr. Bates...outstanding work. Or was this Wandas doing? Hmmm...
It seems Buda is just smiling and not talking and Orrin seems to be pensive
from Budas teachings...lolol

Very beauty little spot. Thanks for sharring. Love the content look on Orrin.

Love the flowering tree. Orrin must lile his little space. I think Minnie would love it there. Maralee

When we last saw Buddha, he was up to his contemplative navel in snow. Of course Wanda was in the shot to warm him up. I like spring much better than winter myself, but I love ANY time of the year with Wanda in the picture.

Ahhh Bill, you mask this as a simple image but in reality you are asking us:
"Does Orring G have a Buddha-nature?"

;-)

That doesn't look like Wanda to me.:-)Get with it Bill.:-)

Ed,

Actually, what appears to be the work of naughty birds with a good aim is really just pitting and worn away areas in the surface of the statue. Utah's wicked winters take a toll on garden ornaments.

Gee wiz Bill, I thought you took my picture for a moment! Wanda has good taste. Nice shot, everything is just the way I wish my pics came out.

Oops! Just noticed, the birds are practicing bombing it! LOL
