Nasturtiums – literally means nose-twister – but the bloom itself signifies victory through battle and conquest.
It’s not often you get to admire the intricate feathered detail on the female duck – as usual it’s the showy male of the species that tends to get all the attention.
The locomotive version of the old British Rail lion and wheel totem. The lion rises from a heraldic crown of gold on which are arranged the rose (for England), the thistle (for Scotland), the leek (for Wales) and the oak leaf (for all Great Britain)”. It’s all in the detail…

Is that first photo a diamond earring in a leaf? That is a really a neat trick.

Actually it’s a rain drop, Joseph. ‘Fraid I don’t run to diamond earrings. 😦

Thanks, Sandra. I’m having a great time and, thankfully, we’re a long way from Nice. One more day and then Sunday I head home.

The first and second photos are really interesting. I’d love to know the name of the first plant, and the yellow bloom looks like someone painted it. Nice interpretation. 🙂

The first and second are the same – nasturtium leaf and the bloom. Glad you liked them.
