NATURE POETRY
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death. – Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
Miles Hearn
Great pictures of the Red-Bellied Woodpecker. Baltimore Oriole….the colours are my favourite; brilliant orange body with the black head.
