This image I found at Google is about as close as I can come to replicating the house and view where I spent my little vacation earlier this month of July. I wish I could show all the variety of birds that were around me too!

Image result for image of lake off a back yard deck

Here in warm sunshine I sit, near by a beautiful lake. Many birds in the tree like to flit. Long lush branches the breeze likes to shake. Pretty birds all around call twit-twit - Sweetness of which I partake! Spotting some boats off a way dotting the lake, happily I have put down my pen as a jay swoops on by. That is when I first see shadows creeping have dimmed my noon day. Sunlight, as always, must flee. Written July 1, 2015 for the Quatret Poetry Contest of Isaiah Zerbst

Just found this great poem. Lake, water, sun and Nature's gifts. You gave it all in verse. A fine poem my friend. A true pleasure to read!! "Sunlight, as always, must flee." Perfect closing verse!
