Hello and thanks for stopping by :-)
I haven't made any cards over the past few days as I have been very busy learning how to use watercolour pencils which I have never used before. Sometimes we need to take time out to learn something new - keeps our mojo going. We had a planned power outage here at home on Wednesday (some maintenance on the electricity lines) = no computer and too dark in my Craft room to do any cardmaking, so I sat outside on our decking enjoying the beautiful autumn weather and played with my watercolour pencils which I enjoyed immensely. Hopefully this week I should be able to turn the images into some cards! Here is a sneaky peak of 2 of the images (hope you noticed they are Penny Black stamps - what else LOL!).
So, today I thought would show you some photos instead which is one of my other passions. The pink hydrangea below has special meaning to me because about 18 months ago, my sister-in-law gave me a bunch of hydrangeas from her garden for my birthday. After having enjoyed them in the vase for a few weeks, I popped them into a pot to see if I could strike some cuttings. And they did! So now I have this beautiful pot of flowers! Isn't the colour beautiful?!! I have not enhanced the image with photographic software - this is exactly how it looked surrounded by the gorgeous bright green leaves.
The next photo is a snap of apple blossom taken when we visited Edendale Farm in Eltham, Victoria.

This next photo is of a spectacular storm at sunset viewed from our decking. We live in a very bushy area and the trees in the photo are gum trees. The colours that the clouds kept changing to was breathtaking.
And this last one is of the same storm but it had been raining a little and there was just enough sunlight to make a rainbow on the top RHS. One of those flukey photos when you are there at just the right time.
Thanks again for popping in and hope you enjoyed my little photo-fest!

As for the glories of God's creations it does take your breath away.
My artist dad taught me years ago a love of the skies (even thought he is yet to know the One Who created them) and so adore watching clouds as he does.. his birthday to day..82 yo.
