Its Spring and See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is in search of gardens

Daffodils and Pewter Jug (1963) by Winifred Nicholson |
Winifred Nicholson has just come in from her garden arranged the flowers she has picked and painted them, you can just see the bare bones of a spring garden and colour in the background. This window view with flowers was one of her favourite subjects.
Taking a walk through one of Scarborough's gardens on the esplanade and its bold municipal planting. The lady on the right has come colour coordinated for daffodil season. Both the clock and shadows tell us it is midday. The clock tower was built in 1911 for George V's coronation and has recently undergone major renovations.

I love daffodils for their cheery bright color heralding early spring's arrival.
Such a lovely painting on the first postcard!
Oh, to be able to pick flowers from my garden and set them on a windowsill - bliss (I live in an apartment, so no garden) . The esplanade would be a lovely daily walk.
I love the first postcard, and the idea of making a little garden inside :)
I like that first a lot. I would like a painting of just the window view!
