NATURE POETRY
Come ye into the summer woods;
There entereth no annoy;
All greenly wave the chestnut leaves,
And the earth is full of joy. – Mary Howitt (1799–1888)

The changing of the seasons, always a wonder.
I love those olden days nature poetry.
Wonderful photos.
Thank you!
So many beautiful things! And yes, the place has been transformed–yet beautiful in both. Thank you so much, Miles!
Thank you for posting all the beautiful photos. Hope actual nature walks possible soon….but photos really remind you of how beautiful it is “out there” in the meanwhile.
