A Tropical Portrait

canopy of blue adorned by white wispy clouds -- a heavenly day palm tree sentinels watch ocean waves lap the shore -- white sand reveals shells vibrant flora thrives shades of fuchsia, verdant green -- a paradise found 7/13/12 for Gail Doyle's "A Scenery of Your Choice, As an Artist" contest.
