Here's the full photo from which I took the banner.

I think it was the simple, but strong color palette (red, yellow, green) that attracted me to the scene and motivated me to take the photo in the first place. I hope it cheers your day just a little bit.

Really lovely! Just looking at it I could exhale after the seed swap excitement/stress and go into that garden. Thanks for sharing!
