You know the first thing that sprung to mind was a special gift the dog would leave in the garden for you. But somehow I don't think that is whats intended!

Unfortunately, I also thought of that first...It's either that or someone's going to post a 'lovely' photo from a maternity delivery ward just as nature's gift is arriving...

The below pics were taken in Namibia last November and thought could fit the theme quite well.

C&C welcome

Another from Namibia, this time Etosha. The gift of some much needed rain.




Or Tattenham Corner train station. The gift of a free day off work.

The red & Yellow flower is pretty cool, well composed with the two surrounding flowers forming near symmetry & the main focus is drawn always back to the center which in turn is well coloured & cheery.

But I'm not the judge, I just like the photo.
