a bruised wish also
stirs in the
wind, echoes
with an etude
of a hundred seedlings
preparing to loosen
like stylish white
scarves, surrendering,
lost, studied

thank you! wow, is that a painting or a photograph on your post for the “simple” challenge? it looks like a Truffula Tree from the Lorax! unreal! thank you for sharing.
A really beautiful shot. I should say that I like the nature-photography direction you’re on lately… a nice contrast to you equally brilliant urban photos
peace, –D
thank you! i feel like it’s a nice departure, but not always easily accessible to get these shots! (smile)
Simply perfect! Thanks for the share 🙂
BTW it’s spelled “dent de lion” (french words for “lion’s tooth”)
cool – what’s lion’s toothy about it?
simply stunning capture
thank you, Jo!

breathtaking, yi-ching.
