The Hills Are Alive

A path leads to a barn and green pasture, behind which lies a reddish brown hill. I imagine the trees thereon as spies in fall’s bright disguise, dispersed along the hill. They silently stalk; only at this moment do they stand still.

at first I was thinkin, oh crap san Andreas is up to some old zombie, horror flick, nuclear fallout Hills Have Eyes poetry, Then I realized, you just painted a cool little BoB Ross Painting! which, IF you knew how much I loved style (wet on wet canvas) then you'd know that was a huge compliment!~ Keep spittin' out the piping hot FIRE~ JSL

I know that scene! This time of year, I rise up early and go outside as the dawn arrives and stand in the silence and watch as everything changes before my eyes. It is Such a glorious way to start the day. Wonderful Etheree, Andrea. You are a master with so many forms. bfn Lainie

You draw a picture as if it were the season. So vivid with recall as to bring the moment into the present. And silently the spies stand still awaiting winters cold bright chill.
