A Photo a Day: My Daily Sustenance, Day 185

It's been awhile since I have featured a stained glass created by son Derek.
Derek lives with chronic back pain, but he shared with me that working on stained glass projects helps take his mind off the pain.  Imagine that- suffering producing such beauty.

 Last week granddaughter Charley, her delightful munchkin Myah and I visited oldest granddaughter Candice.  

She has developed a green thumb like her mother.  All around the house is an abundance of floral beauty.

I think the tuber begonia resembles a rose.  

For some reason, willow trees personify tranquility for me.
I love the unique shaped of the coned baskets.  It's like a taste treat for the eyes! 

Son Derek made this.  

As you can see, it's functional as well as cute.

The same son (Derek) who created the stained glass  beauties I've shared with you made this for Candice. The bottoms of wine bottles were used.  It stands by her deck helping make her backyard a haven of serenity.

It's been a while since I shared one of my son's creations.  The starkness of the flower's white petals brings out the beauty of the other colors.

I love the design of this stained glass made by son Derek.
I think his artistic talent comes from my mother and his dad.  I can't remember if I've mentioned it before but Charles was the one who designed and made the kids' Halloween costumes.  I wish that I had photos from that time period of our family life.

A Photo a Day: My Daily Sustenance, Day 83

It's been several days since I shared one of son Derek's stained glass creations.  This one really speaks to me, the Blessed Mother and her infant Jesus.  So fitting for a Friday in Lent.
