The Gentle Rain | The Blue Flower - Needlework Expo

Designer's Note: I wanted to capture the wonderful feeling of soft spring rain.  I've always loved clouds and fog and drizzle, and perhaps more so now that I live in the desert.  So for this chart I have designed a group of spring flowers and trees.  The central feature is an enormous birdbath with ducks and ducklings, a swan and some cygnets.  I've included a variety of wildlife (dog, raccoon, squirrel, heron, etc.)  There are also several birds inspired by the yellow-billed cuckoo, which is sometimes called a "rain bird."
