Plants, the butterfly effect, and more PINK

	The alien, wavy fronds of the alpine pasqueflower seemed like an excellent start for a mandala. What I didn't expect, though, was that the lines made by the fronds would give an effect very similar to traditional mandalas. This one has also had its symmetry corrected. By now I was getting better about thinking ahead to that stage of the process, and making mandalas that were more bilatarally symmetrical.
	Different flower, same idea.
	I like the contrast between the shadowed plants and the brightly lit mountain. I think I still like the original photo a bit better than the mandala, but such is life.
	The mandala makes this butterfly's wings look even more like leaves.
	These guys live at Second Beach, without a doubt the best tidepooling beach I've been to. There are some lovely antifreeze-green anenomes there, too, but the ones I happened to get a good, clear photo of were, of course, pink.
