Meanwhile a visit to Deer Park after long time
It was a fortunate evening to click this rainbow after Rains
We have pink and white ones growing on our property. I recently began cutting some of them and bringing them inside. They look so pretty in little glass jars. They last a long time too. Visiting from image-in-ing's blog hop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting .
DeleteThese look like such healthy fawns., Many that we see in our yard are quite thin in comparison, but they aren't quite as well-fed, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/10/at-aquarium.html
Arun-your periwinkle is so pretty and I love the deer and rainbow. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI only know our blue Periwinkle, which is pretty, but somewhat invasive.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. Nice to see the deer and the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteSmall periwinkle with purple flowers does well even in Central European gardens - I have those flowers in my garden, but I didn't know that there exists also periwinkles with pink blossoms! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo with the deer! <3
Best wishes

ReplyDeleteThe Periwinkles are such lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe Fawns are so cute; one of them looks a little wary.
Enjoy the week...
The deer are adorable and the rainbow amazing, We have a different periwinkle sort in Finland, with blue or purple flowers. Perhaps a different plant alltogether, but with the same common name.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous rainbow shot. Actually, a double rainbow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rainbow photo!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your periwinkle tips. Is this the same as impatiens? Looks the same. My mother grew a lot of it in South Florida, great shade long bloomer that does not need deadheading. A win!
