Raindrops on Roses




What a difference a day makes. The Ice Queen's brittle spell has been broken, giving way to bare stems & sleepy roseheads dripping with dew. Such is the magic of the garden & it's ability to draw the mind away from the mundane, captivating the imagination with each small miracle.  Often the magic lies in a simple moment; maybe a bud beginning to burst or a raindrop falling from a leaf.  These unique events combine to build a collage of natural beauty that is free to us all, if we take the time to stop, look & stare.
