This photo is the shade of spring green I’ve never been able to capture in a poem. Lovely, lush late April and May! Attention gets paid here in the city, where beauty is at such a premium. But when leaves turn dark (like now), trees are lost to buildings, stores, cars, etc. Only in parks can you really “see” them…
We have an abandoned golf course across the street from us which has been allowed to get wild and natural. A great place to walk a dog or merely walk. It is a joy to watch it turn deep green in May. Thanks for reminding me to pay attention.
yes… gold fish swim in schools in an old pond (water hazard) the water turtles are huge — maybe 18-20 inches long. Ground hogs occasionally climb trees. 🙂 Deer don’t care about you as long as you don’t make sudden moves in their direction or have a dog with you. :-0

Thank you Ellen! It was an amazing sea of green. I had never been to the arboretum before and, yes, the trees were a beautiful sight.
