Poinsettia

red and evergreen
bushes proudly displayed, joy
marriage's first kiss 



**I got married in December and the church was full of poinsettias....it was so beautiful.

Well how utterly lovely Doris.. my first marriage was December 2nd.. and it was very warm that day and the Church seemed to have spring flowers rather than poinsettias ... a lovely visual in this write..good luck in the contest my friend...
