A Day In May

morning rises; a misty dawn, deer grazing on a verdant lawn, a bluebird finds her nesting place, birches, sway on the breeze with grace, tulips, in water colors at play; awakened to this day in May.

With all of the wildfires, it is not surprising to find deer grazing on the lawn - or rose garden! Enjoyed! Aloha!

Superb imagery. Much of what you wrote is not existent in Malta (Europe). But you can find a lot of corruption on this tiny island.

Glad you enjoyed it; I hope it gave you some peace. It is sad, not only is Malta filled with corruption; I don't think any country is free of it. Hope you have a nice day. :)Paulette
