A place strong like a river surroundings soft on the eyes and easy on the hands drawing out the best of long fields where sunsets command a second look and rains are infrequent while angels harmonize in the scent of lavender dissolving the unknown

There was a glass reflection of sky and overhanging branches as we passaged down river, slipping through calm water; an excursion through nature’s lyrics. Each wide corner revealed another portrait in perfect color; small gatherings of birds swept silently above. There was a balance. A quiet tempest of greatness. An undercurrent of power not seen. … More EACH CORNER
Over hanging branches with fingers of moss drool onto a brown fat lazy river. Mud soft edges sit rich with ooze, tempting to touch, warm with patience.
