It looks like summer has finally arrived in Minnesota. After months of gray, overcast days the lush green grass and foliage and vibrant flower blossoms are a welcome sight.

There’s an Etsy shop where you can get the freshness of summer blooms all year long. MaryFosterCreative is filled with fine art flower and foliage photographs by Mary Foster. Not only does she photograph nature’s beautiful works of art, she grows the blooms herself!

The shop features flower and foliage prints as well as note card collections. Cards can be purchased individually or in sets. Imagine how thrilled someone would be to receive a lovely hand-written note on one of these gorgeous cards.
