Rain, Sunshine & Blooming Beauties

Please friends forgive me for not talking about design, decor and related inspirations. Actually I'm lost in beauty of nature. My heart leaps with joy whenever I see how nature changes its mood in a jiffy.
Sometimes only dark overcast of clouds and sometimes it mixes with sunshine.

 And thats not enough, what makes me more happy is view of my garden..........blooms and plants sunkissed and completely drenched in rain...what a lovely combination.

Sunshine & Rain .............

I really feel blessed. Here I am making a promise that next post will be an inspiratinal one. So freinds do visit this space.
