Although the colour blue is sometimes associated with melancholy it is more often associated with harmony, faithfulness and confidence. The onion, with its spherical shape and concentric rings, was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, who believed it symbolized eternal life. This blue bowl, with its spherical shape and concentric rings, is the perfect container for this ancient symbol of eternal life.
A blue bowl of onions!
Eternal life, harmony, faithfulness and confidence!

This lady's slipper orchid grows by a large rock next to a pond.
Each spring it blooms briefly to announce the passage of another season.
An Ojibwe legend that tells of a young girl who saved her village
from the plague by making a journey through the snow
to find medicine for the sick. She was successful,
but she lost her moccasins on the journey and left a trail of footprints in the snow.
In the spring the footprints brought forth moccasin flowers, known today as
"The Lady's Slippers".

If the colour of bamboo is seen in the vividness and individuality of each bamboo culm,
then one may easily see its hidden colours.
From the way it grows in an open and striking manner, to the authentic way
it gives of itself with its many meanings and symbols,
it is easy to see how it is worthy of our respect.
It is truly one of nature's wonders coloured with hidden delights.

No Horizon

Looking east as the sun rises,
Looking west as the sun sets,
A prairie lake, a forest's treasure, a mountain gem,
No horizon and without limits,
No matter how you look at it,
A landscape with infinite possibilities,
A hiker's dream.
"Look deep into nature, and you will understand everything better."
