Rainy weather leaves drops on the  windshield . I crawled into the back seat to take photos of the raindrops. Added a darker blue background. Lastly I picked up some tulips at Safeway and put that photo on top of the other 2 layers.

Castle wall in France. Beautiful old castle with vines and roses climbing up the tired bricks. It is hard to imagine how long it has been since someone pruned that yellow rose.
