.....but if the poor man wears his forest overcoat, I think that makes him a "rich" man? Hope you're well, Miguel.Elton Houck 13 Sep 2009
good work my friend!Anonymous Guest 31 Jul 2009
Such vibrant colors - sometimes etheric and surreal, but fresh (after the rain in the tropical lushness shone on by the radiant smoky Sun of Telos) - like the 'Colors of Heaven'! What a gift! You're such a radiant Angel of light, color and beauty! Thank you for the spectacular feast to the eyes! Namaste, ChooiMiro Gabriele 01 Jun 2009

Yes, beautiful colors, lovely grand oak and a great poem. Trees are such great beings; if only they could talk-what would they say? When I was a Girl Scout, I planted a little pine tree. Wish I had the photo of my digging it in with the shovel. That little, skinny thing is now about 50+ feet tall!!! Everytime I see it, I go and hug it and I am so happy it has grown so grand and tall, adding beauty to the neighborhood-standing watch as all goes by. Thank you for the photo and the poem, Michael.....aoNira Dabush 25 Nov 2007
