.....but if the poor man wears his forest overcoat, I think that makes him a "rich" man? Hope you're well, Miguel.

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, Chooi

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.....ao

Artist Reply: Thank you so much for your kind comments and your lovely story. This park is really quite lovely and many have a nice lunch there or rest and talk. It has a great spring beneath it, which is one of many that made the town famous. Thanks so much. Michael
