Where does one walkabout with Buddhas? Lovely pics.

Reminds me of one of my all time favorite jokes.
A Zen master visiting New York City goes up to a hot dog vendor and says, “Make me one with everything.”
The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and hands it to the Zen master, who pays with a $20 bill.
The vendor puts the bill in the cash box and closes it. “Excuse me, but where’s my change?” asks the Zen master.
The vendor responds, “Change must come from within.”

I went completely stir-crazy yesterday, so these pictures are exactly what I needed this morning. Thank you.

Those are truly beautiful and calming pics. You usually add some detail about who took them and where. Your customary addition would be welcome.

Lovely and peaceful, SkyBluePink — a much-needed glimpse of serenity. These pictures seem to say, “All will be well.” Thank you!

@satby: SkyBluePink is the nym, not a description. But maybe you knew that?

These were taken on my property in Western North Carolina.
I love the serenity of the Buddhas and I love flowers….
