a delicate breeze
trees at the river side lean
the blue butterfly
perched on a rock
the song of a grackle
swift in passing
❧✿❧
a beach umbrella
the perfect reading tent
splash of waves
yearning for salt
tiny shells in the sand
opened chip chip
❧✿❧
an uncut flower
who know the name
of this wayside one
plucking petals
daisy tales of true love
or not true love
❧✿❧
ornate envelope
post marked 2014
a new year card
heart shaped chocolates
such a hopeless romantic
his doting wife
