Blue Petals, Raindrops and Moss

Blue Petals, Raindrops and Moss

blue petals, raindrops and moss, beside and in our little lilypond. Captured from the open front window with telephoto lens as I was waiting for the hummingbirds to stop by :)

the blue flowers and petals are Johnson's Blue geraniums (true geraniums) - otherwise known as Cranesbill. A perennial that gives us so much pleasure year after year.

glad you like it, Jeannie. It is one of my favourites : ) We love it when those blue cranesbills tumble over the wall towards the lilypond each summer, then the petals fall into the water like this.

thanks so much, Cindy and Anne for the generous comments. Am so happy you both like it. I was quite happy with it also. Just happened to see the beauty of it as I was gazing out the front window, waiting for the fighting hummers :)

Beautiful and yet with a touch of sadness. Similar to leaves falling in autumn. A very touching beauty. Exquisite.
