In light of recent events, I find myself wanting to do more and more pastoral and peaceful scenes... So, this is an imaginary courtyard garden sanctuary, where I feel anyone can find solace in a course of a day... The scene is supposed to be in late afternoon.... Anyway, the flowers are from trillium models and the water lilies are from drew costigan...

Wow Paul, it's beautiful, really. You've really done those flowers justice here, too. You ought to sned this in to E-on for a POTD. :)

I agree with Mike here Paul...and those flowers are awesome!! The whole scene is beautiful!

How beautifully done this is! I really like the entire scene - very restful feeling. Irene

Well, thank you all for the kind words... Mike, I might take you up on your suggestion and see what Eon says about the matter... :)

Very nice indeed. I love how you arranged the little pond. :)

Yes, that is beautiful. I just got the Trillium Botanical CDs and I can see I must reevaluate my idea of what can be done with them. Oh well, something more to aspire to. Lovely. Larry F

Thank you Varian, here you have the vue rock generator in action... :) I tried to make it so that it would be irregular around the rim of the pond, that's why all the gaps here and there...

Yeah Larry with those flowers and plants you can really go to town doing nature scenes... Thanks for the kind words... :)

Oh you bet, I love the rock generator! Still, someone's gotta pick up the rocks and stones and set 'em into place, and you did a really nice job. :)

Yeap, I've been going kind of rock crazy of late.. :) I was going to have a window that looked out on the forest surrounding the courtyard, and the edge of the window lined with rocks.. But I never would have finished by the deadline....
