Fats here.
I’m up this week for Frizz’s A-Z Photo Story Challenge. Letter tagged is G and I have “greenery” for you today. I haven’t really been out and about lately so I’ll share photos I took at Odell Lake two months ago, with a little bit of poetry.
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
— Robert Frost
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
— George Gordon Byron
Hi Fats! The first photo is absolutely glorious. Food for the soul. 🙂

“I love not man the less,
but Nature more.”
P.S.:
that’s typical American dream, isn’t it? And the European adore the big cities and skyscrapers. If you have winter, you long for summer, if it is summer, you demand winter.
