A trip to the new forest - hopefully I have painted a picture. - 1st May 2011.


New forest.

Copse; a many interim,
exalt the faces.
Stallions walk where
the horses run.

And the bayou dances.

Bush-flame odyssey;
remedy of yellow buds.
Purple pasture with a
summit of thankyou.

Skyline blushing,
without fearful ambit.

John, your vision of this spring is a delightful dance into the month of May. Beautiful and alive in the colors of the gentle walk into this summer. Much appreciated and applauded.
