Such beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteThere was magical light!
DeletePretty and idyllic images!
ReplyDeleteSoftness, purity of nature, and I can almost hear the quiet, but imagine the sound of birds...of course ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, lots of birds singing when the sun came back out!
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, what the Japanese call "forest therapy" is a perfect way to bring peace and serenity into your soul. These images fulfill the lyrics of the song quite well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate!
DeleteIt was such a beautiful walk, right after the rain had stopped.
One of my fondest memories of rain in May.
Such gorgeous photos! I love that "new-growth" shade of green.
ReplyDeleteMaigrün, may green, is what a friend called it recently.
DeleteMagnificent! Love the spring palette of colors. One of your best, Merisi.
