All day on Saturday, I had the pleasure of teaching a class in which participants created a glass flower garden stake. (More on that in a future post.) During a break, I stepped outside to enjoy the cloudless sky and admire a very old native oak (Quercus garryana aka Oregon White Oak)
behind the classroom at Mandarin Stained Glass. From Alison I learned that according to Celtic myth, on the hibernal solstice the Oak King regains his supremacy from the Holly King. The golden winter sun shining on this oak certainly gave the branches a regal appearance. Perhaps this was coronation day of the new king.
Depending which icons got pushed in the edit function on Google albums, the scene looks very different.
