- the Deep Forest -

You need to go far, farther, even farther Over small streams and tracks The moon is distant, but can be glimpsed through the trees A moose lifts his head, a beautiful antlers King of the forest Can smell the forest and wildlife The fox howling at the moon Echoes in the woods Two yellow glowing eyes It is the owl which are on the night watch Hope that all mice are safely home The moon disappears behind the clouds Darkness falls, deep into the forest 28.05.2013 A-L Andresen :) (5th in the contest)

Ah, life in the forest, Anne-Lise. such a great place to see life as darkness falls. In many ways it reminds me of scenes in unfamiliar cities I have been. Always much to observe and learn. Very nice picture, my friend.... Robert.
