NATURE POETRY
Here all the forces of the wood
As one converge,
To make the soul of solitude
Where all things merge. – Bliss Carman (1861-1929)
Miles Hearn
I hope I didn’t send this twice–I was composing and went to confirm the spelling of Mandarin Ducks and found it was gone. What I had to say is that I didn’t know that Mandarin Ducks nested in trees! And it was great to see Taylor Creek Park, one of my favorite places, again. Thanks, Miles!
thanks for your beautiful photos
