A Second Visit to Crystal Hermitage
Ananda Village, Nevada City, CA
Monday, May 13, 2013
Herb Lindberg
| Our visit to the Crystal Hermitage Tulip Open
house on Sunday, April 28 was such a whirlwind that Mary and I went back
15 days later to get a more complete perspective of Crystal Hermitage
and Ananda Village. We were also interested to see what would
replace the tulips in the garden. We could see that roses were
coming in during the April 28 visit.
I used a few of the new pictures (mainly of the chapel) to add to the slide show I created originally. Below are links to the new slide show, and Cheryl Noble's interview of Ananda gardeners Nancy and Kerry Mair. . |

This time we were able to stop at the Ananda symbol to see it more closely. |
 |
|
We also looked more closely at the statuary outside the gift shop. |
 |
|
One of the main reasons for a re-visit was to take the outside of the chapel, which we had rushed past on April 28. |

|
More face-on view. |

Dahlias and Roses were now in full bloom at the wide-area terrace. |

The chapel viewed above terrace roses, from the broad terrace. |

Meanwhile, on the uphill side (toward the chapel) was a symphony in purple. |
