Sunday Selections ... Textures and Colours in Nature - Raindrops

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim or Frogspondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through Life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.

I love roses, we have a few bushes in our back garden which are going crazy with the Spring weather. It's also no secret (to my family anyways) that I love The Sound of Music and one of my favourite songs, is of course, My Favourite Things.

So without further ado, I give you, straight from the song ... raindrops on roses (and a few other places too).

Thanks for popping by xxx 

Raindrops on roses

I have always loved the Sound of Music song 'My Favourite Things' and one of my favourite things really is 'raindrops on roses'.

The early morning autumn rains today blessed me with beautiful raindrops on the roses in my garden, so I thought I would share with you, enjoy.

Its the Small Things

As mentioned many times previously, I have a Charles Brunner climbing rose right outside my study window. On Sunday I looked out, daydreaming while doing some work and this little haloed flower caught my eye.

Soft pink bud, caught in the sunlight, softly glowing - just beautiful. The leaves and branches of the rose, softly swaying in the light breeze, the bright blue sky, the backdrop to all that is refreshing, soothing and lovely. A lovely winter's day.

What do you see out your window?
