Pictures by Mary Altha Nims
Mary Altha Nims's orange butterfly rests on a leafy rose-bush stem, with a wish for sweet days, peaceful nights and all the joy a new baby brings. Nims was an American painter of garden flowers in the 1800s, and her watercolours still keep the freshness of a summer morning. For new parents welcoming their little one.
