... and a pink carnation ~ Happy PPF!

Hello! 

I hadn't painted anything this week, but there's been a lot of playing around with chooks and chickens though.  (A little update photo is at the end of this post).

Had a look through my photos and I kind of felt in a Carnation mood.  Don't you just love that beautiful cinnamon/peppery/sweet smell of Carnations or their smaller variety... Dianthus!

I made these cards below for loved ones last year and am delighted to share photos of them as my entry in Paint Party Friday:

They're all watercolour with inkpen on watercolour paper

Mumma and her two chicks are doing really well.
Their favourite game is to climb on to her back and slide down.
They were all enjoying a lovely sun bath in this snap:

Orchid ~ Floral Bliss

Hello!

I really hope your week is going along just fine.  

Things are lovely here.... electric blanket set to "sizzle" at night,  and  yet the days still have some beautiful sunshine!

Blissing out with Riitta over at her blogspot today as we all indulge in showing off the most gorgeous blooms created by Mother Nature.

Here's a sweet little Orchid growing in our garden:

It's a Crucifix Orchid... an Epidendrum of some sort.
A cutting of which was given to me by one of my Sisters and its vine
grew and grew!

... so many aerial roots

Standing under looking upwards...  I love these kind of shots!

When we look at flowers how can we not smile?

Thank you for visiting,

Sue xx
