Whether I’m cooking in my kitchen or walking through a garden, park, or market, I can’t help pausing sometimes to photograph things of extraordinary beauty. A peony in bloom, a bowl of ripe persimmons, a perfect yellow rose bathed in morning dew—things like these will stop me in my tracks and make me reach for my camera.

These photo cards, which are blank inside, are my stationery of choice when I’m writing to friends. I also like to tie several of them together with a ribbon to give as gifts. Now you can too, through Zazzle, where I have made several available for sale.
