Pretty Flowers, a rainy night and a gift from a stranger

This is a picture of Mum's that I purchased yesterday. I love to take pictures of flowers. They are so perfect!
Last night was a very rainy night. It poured for hours. Both the above and below picture were taken with maximum flash and the camera facing upwards. The flash reflected off the rain drops allowing me to photograph them. I love it!!

And finally a gift from a stranger. Yesterday a gentleman came into my place of work. He was waiting for a regular patron. He told me he was a stone cutter. This peaked my interest because I have always loved stones, their beauty and their healing effects. We spoke on the topic for a while, until his friend came in. Well, today they came back, and he had a gift for me. A Tiger's Eye that he picked up off the beach at Scott's Bay. I was very grateful, and I couldn't wait to post about it. I need to have it attached to a gold chain so I can wear it regularly.
