I think it is beautiful how everything in nature can be seen as a reflection of something else. / I believe there is a direct link between nature and the cosmos. / I see a little reflection of the sun in the marigold.

I grew these marigold myself… to me they look like orange candy.
When summer temperatures sizzle, the colours seem to shimmer – as in this image.
An image of a marigold flower which looked plain on its own so thought I would play in photoshop and see what I can come up with. Altered Images
Hand drawn and rendered… Saint Death (also known as La Santísima Muerte, and Doña Sebastiana), is a religious figure who receives petitions for love, luck, and protection. Although the Catholic Church has attacked the worship of Saint Death as a pagan tradition, many people insist on praying to this figure for miracles. Those who pray to this figure are often seeking the recovery of health, stolen items, or kidnapped family members. Saint Death is often depicted as a female figure, dressed as a grim reaper with a scythe and scales; also she can be dressed in a long white satin gown and a golden crown. In this form, many devotees view her as a variation of the Virgin Mary. / Some believe the cult of Saint Death originated from ancient witchcraft; however, Saint Death may have his/her roots in pre-Christian beliefs of the Aztec Native Americans who worshiped a similar figure by the name of Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death, along with his wife, Mictecacihuatl. The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage. Family and friends gather to pray for and remember friends and relatives who have died. Many people believe that during the Day of the Dead, it is easier for the souls of the departed to visit the living. During the period most people visit the cemeteries where their loved ones are buried and decorate their graves with ofrendas, or offerings, often including orange marigolds called “cempasúchitl” (now usually called “Flor de Muerto” (“Flower of the Dead”)). These flowers are thought to attract souls of the dead to the offerings. A common symbol of the holiday is the skull (colloquially called calavera), which celebrants represent in masks, and foods such as sugar skulls, which are inscribed with the name of the recipient on the forehead. Sugar skulls are gifts that can be given to both the living and the dead. Some people believe that possessing “dia de los muertos” items can bring good luck. Many people get tattoos or have dolls of the dead to carry with them. The artist recommends a lighter colour tee for maximum detail. A darker tee will hide the black line work.
Featured in the group Super Macro Photography in April 2009 Caught this bee trying to clean up on the left over marigolds at my cousin’s farm. They seem to be able to go at it when everyone else has left for warmer places.
A little while ago, Mel asked me to design a tattoo for her, and this is a colour version of it! It includes a portrait of her and a daffodil, chrysanthemum and marigold which are the birth flowers of her children! :) Hope you like it Mel! It would be super cool on a tee too! :) Let me know ;)

Caltha palustris commonly known as Kingcup or Marsh Marigold belongs to the Ranunculaceae (buttercup family). It is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere (Europe including Iceland and Arctic Russia, temperate and Arctic Asia, and North America). It grows in wet, boggy places, such as marshes, fens, ditches and wet woods. It becomes most luxuriant in partial shade, but is rare on peat.It flowers early April and May and is very valuable to insects at this time as they provide nectar and pollen to them.Near in the Salo southern Finland Canon EOS40D / Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS / 1/90s / f/22 / ISO100 / 115mm This image are © Veikko Suikkanen.

Common chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a bushy perennial herb with blue, lavender, or occasionally white flowers. It grows as a wild plant on roadsides in its native Europe, and in North America and Australia, where it has become naturalized. Common chicory is also known as blue sailors, succory, and coffeeweed. It is also called cornflower, although that name is more properly applied to Centaurea cyanus. The cultivated forms are grown for their leaves or for the roots which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and additive. Common names for varieties of include endive, radicchio, Belgian endive, French endive, red endive, sugarloaf or witloof. Photo taken in Auburn, WA
