raindrops on nasturtiums

That title doesn't quite have the ring of raindrops on roses does it? Never mind. A promising sunny start to the day accompanied my early morning Walter walk but by coffee break time the sea mists rolled in, bringing a grey damp drizzle.

I could do without the rain, but it does collect beautifully in tiny pools on my nasturtium leaves, which are currently rambling all over my garden. Such beauty in something so simple.

And now to my giveaway - thanks so much for all your lovely comments! Friday fatigue has crept in so I've taken the easy option of the random number generator, who has picked:

So Jeanne and Lynn, please email me with your addresses, and I'll get your goodies in the post!

A few people asked if I was going to sell some of the cards (and I have to confess I did a little leap of excitement at that moment, so thank you!) and the answer is yes. I have a limited quantity, but I plan to do another print run once I've ordered some more card so if you're interested, please email me.

Thanks for taking part, and have a happy weekend!

Beautiful photo. I really like nasturtiums, and so do Cabbage White butterflies. Watch out for them! Congratulations to the two winners of your lovely cards. I know Gigibird for real, lucky Lynn! x

Raindrops on nasturtiums and whiskers on foxes;
Bright silver salvers and warm toasted loxes;
Blue colored jackets covered with fluff;
This is a sample of my favorite stuff.
