NATURE POETRY
Oh, summer has clothed the Earth
In a cloak from the loom of the Sun!
And a mantle, too, of the skies’ soft blue,
And a belt where the rivers run. – Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)
Miles Hearn
Hi Miles,
Love the rail bed & photos.
RE the verse to-day, do you think maybe clock,…. should be cloak??????????
Such beautiful things to be seen and photographed here. I love it!
And yes, I got the “mystery bird”!
The Gypsy Moth is going to re-named, apparently.
This is a wonderful place! And those Bee-balms–among all the other marvelous, beautiful things–such incredible colour!
Thanks, Miles!
