FIRST PLACE

Ducks swimming in a green river surrounded by lush trees and weeping willows, with reflections on the water. on Craiyon

Memory - Tree

 
Once, upon a wooden bench beside a quiet pond, me and dad sat talking beneath a weeping willow tree; his hand found mine- Oh, we had such a strong bond, we watched ducks floating, drifting- graceful and free.
