This is my card for today's WT, which was just to be thankful. I received a most beautiful book in the post yesterday - black and white photography of trees, with text. So my reply is also going to be a photo. I looked through a lot of landscape ones, as Jacques always waxes lyrical about the beautiful countryside here - he brought his family over from France the year I left school - umm, over 25 years ago! But they weren't conducive to making cards from them.
Took this photo of a swan in the park in the city centre last week. Sized and printed it. Stamped the feather from Flourishes Strut Your Stuff and Merci from Carte Postale. Added the photo and drew a border round it. Added tiny gems in the corners to cover up one line that was a fraction to long. Quick and easy...I'm thankful for that too as my sis is arriving this evening and I have to go and cook dinner and think of dessert.
So I'll be back as and when I can to comment...

Oh my gosh!! This is an award winning photo, and a beautiful card. It just about makes me cry. The swan, the reflections, and the ripples in the water are breath taking. What a blessing to have captured nature like that.
