Picture Postcard

i thought i would join in with the Gallery this week. the theme is 'picture postcard'. this is taken at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond. I took my sister here a few weeks ago after she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and before facing major surgery. It is a place of tranquility and beauty for all the senses.

do check out other people's picture postcards:

  1. I would buy this postcard in a shot. And put it on my special wall (beside my desk- meant to inspire me, but mostly great for distraction). Beautiful photo of one of my favourite places. Felling homesick...(in a good way).

  6. I love Petersham nurseries. It's so calm and peaceful, a real place to unwind and relax. I do have to chuckle at the prices of some of the shabby chic furniture though..extortionate!
