Heliotropism is a phenomenom

 where plants move toward the sun. 

In the morning young sunflowers face the east.

 Throughout the day they follow the sun westward

 and during the night

 they slowly turn back towards the east.  

As sunflowers age this sun tracking movement slows

 as the flower becomes heavy with seeds.

The  sunflower spends the rest of its days facing east.

Sometimes we miss what is right before of us. 

Who knew?

The strawberry leaf is a source of vitamin C, tannins, minerals and antioxidants.  The leaves have been harvested and used medicinally for centuries for many health benefits or can simply be enjoyed as a delicious summer-time hot or cold drink.

The strawberry is a cherished fruit but the leaf endures.    

Groups of three.

The strawberry leaf.

A symbol of trinity.

Santa 14 Collection

Santa has gifts for Grandmaman and Papa's  

six grandchildren this year,

 but no matter how hard they look on this painting,

 they won't find a tag with their name.  

Santa knows that 2020 has been a challenging year and 

has had to work very hard at the North Pole on these special gifts.

He knows that they are gifts that the Grandchildren already have in their hearts, 

but he wanted to wrap them up to show how important they are

 and how proud he is of Ethan, Tristan, Reegan, Logan, Sadie and Oliver.

Each gift is to continue to be shared into 2021 "avec tout le monde dans le monde entier".

Joy and Kindness (Yellow gift with blue ribbon)

Honesty and Understanding (Plaid gift)

Respect and responsibility (Red gift with yellow ribbon)

Generosity (Blue gift with yellow ribbon)

Curiosity ((Blue polka dot gift)

Hope (Blue striped gift)

La joie et la gentillesse 

Comprendre les autres et d'être honnête  

Le respect et la responsabilité

La générosité 

La curiosité

L'espoir

Santa also wants to remind the children to look for the Christmas Star on December 21, 2020.  Jupiter and Saturn will align and look like a "double planet" for the first time since the Middle Ages.  They are going to almost appear to collide and become one super-bright point of light.  Santa made sure to put "the Christmas Star" in his painting to remind everyone to look to the skies.

The reference for this painting was a white peony.  

When one looks beyond the technicolour of the painting 

the peony may be easier to understand.   

But the colours of each individual petal are worth the effort.  

Understanding each individual creates the whole.
