Tresses, piercing spotless sight.
Gazing deeply deep
Reflects a fresco figure.

Newness reigns supreme as baby's breath

Dias de inverno
permite
saborear até mesmo
um mau humor....

Late Minoan epoch

barbeque ruined seagulls have no respect.





An old write of mine, which I decided to post. Seemed topical with all the barbequing that is going on. Also, I have never seen so many seagulls. Apparently, they are extra hungry due to the fact restaurants have been closed ~no dumpsters to raid....

Bursting buds unfurl the flushing fresco of flower 
Weaving lattice of grandeur on mesmeric meadow 
Fluorescent butterflies flitter in sunburst shower 
Vista of beguiling beauty framed on my window.
