Exploring the design
2023 Ojai Day Mandala
The "Storybook Unfolding Mandala" was the fourth year of painting around the fountain at Libbey Park. The design is four hexagons around the fountain and four five-pointed stars. This was our 30th anniversary and it was punctuated by a solar eclipse on Saturday morning. We made sure we had a big water design element for the second year in a row because of our long drought here in the valley. We had a wet winter again, and our reservoir, Lake Casitas, was filled to capacity for the first time in over 25 years!
