Light and Greening ...

 touch a new leaf
and
touch a miracle

the baby softness of new life
on a tree
that was bare through winter's cold..

the miracle of green
of spring

tiny aquaducts of
rising sap
water
earth
mineral

and light
the
mystery

all this on a simple walk  to the supermarket
in spring
on a  glorious sunday

  2. Your photographs are wonderful, Joan. I love these leaves and their shadows and how you have framed them in the sun and clouds. Isn't it marvelous what simple and lovely things can be found on a simple Sunday walk?

  3. What beautiful photos. Your leaves look ready to fly like birds, into the clouds beyond.
