WHIM WOOD - KATHERINE TOWERS

Into the coppery halls of beech and intricate oak to be close to the trees as they whisper together let fall their leaves, and we die for the winter.

    1. I like it, too, Ivy. Our changing climate has made it different, though. We are still in the 80s F.

  7. I love your picture. It invites the reader to take the trail, to see what is there. I like the ideas of the trees whispering to each other - one can hear that!
