What a beautiful Iris, all of the flowers where fantastic. I did have fun doing my Modge podge, a lot of fun actually. Happy Monday to you and thanks for sharing your wonderful inspirations Mosaic!
The Japanese Garden photos are lovely, and I look forward to seeing more. Glad to hear that Mr. Dragon's physicians are optimistic. I hope each day brings more physical strength and endurance. Cyber-Hugs, Mr. Dragon!

Oohhh it looks like a beautiful serene spot and those flowers are breathtaking! Can't wait to see more of it. Glad to hear the Mr. is improving and getting out and about. RYC: hehe glad you're enjoying. I haven't decided on next week yet, perhaps an apple orchard or Vermont. I love this time of year! ~Jeanne
That is a very peaceful place. When can I move in? And a bonus iris mosaic too! Good news on the dragon front, it's an upward climb so keep putting one foot in front of the other.
What a wonderful place to go enjoy and rest one's soul for a bit.

Gorgeous photos Snap and sooooo glad to hear that Mr. Dragon is doing so well.
The Irises and mosaics are lovely. So is the Japanese garden you visited. It looks like a calm and serene place. My best of luck wishes for Mr Dragon and may he have a smooth and fast recovery. Do take good care of yourself too.
I will keep your Dear Mr. Dragon in prayer... I was unaware that this was going on in your life (I usually stop by on Postcard Friendship Fridays). Hope that this week is one of continued recovery.
These collages are wonderful!Adorable garden, very special indeed and glad to know that Mr.Dragon is feeling better.I'm sending love and sweet energies for his heart, be positive! purrs Luna - we love luna

It's Monday and that means Mosaic Monday, hosted every week by the lovely Mary at The Dear Little Red House. Be sure you visit. Edited to include link to Today's Flowers -- a virtual flower garden. So many of you have enjoyed the iris, I thought I should share them a little more! Mr. Dragon and I went to the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park last week.It was a beautiful afternoon. The humidity was low and we had the garden almost to ourselves. With its waterfalls, bridges, and stone paths that wander among crepe myrtles, azaleas, Japanese maples, dogwoods, and peach and cherry trees, the Japanese Garden is a peaceful hideaway in the Park. This particular garden is a daimyo style, and includes a tea garden, a kaiyushiki stroll garden, and a scroll garden. I have lots of photos and you may have to put up with them for several weeks!
We were too late for the azaleas in the Japanese Garden, but there were a few Iris still blooming. More next week! *** A quick update on Mr. Dragon. The feeding tube is out and he is learning how to eat all over again. Much easier said than done. He doesn't have much energy, so when we go out we make sure there are plenty of places to sit and rest. The Japanese Garden was perfect. Going in the afternoon, all the school children (at the museum of natural science or the zoo) were gone and we could find a good parking place. He's lost weight. Each day is an adventure, but the doctors are happy about the pathology report and very optimistic. We keep plugging along. Thanks again for all your love, prayers, support, white light, et al. We do appreciate it and you!
