Very lovely, Rhonda. It reminds me a bit of the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. And I love the photo. Maybe one day I will learn how to post photos too... I'm sure this is a winner! Love, Carolyn

PERFECT. Man, I am NOT envying poor Russell with this contest! Some stunning entries, yours is just awesome. I think there will be at least 2 first places, and this should be up there. Thanks for sharing this write. Cyndi- with a cold that came out for a second round and has wrestled her to the rug... 1 ... 2... she's out! :-)

wow, this is gonna score really big, Rhonda. I am dying to know if the pictures show over on the page that the judge gets to see. I think that would influence them and rightly so!!! Was this your own photo or one found online?
