Special thanks to a wonderful poetry pal for introducing me to the word 'pellucid' which inspired the first line of the poem, without her inspiration the poem would never have been written. Sadly like many of my friends, she is no longer active on the site

Mountains mirrored on a pellucid lake, not a cloud in the cornflower blue sky. At one with nature with each step I take, I ascend these emerald hills on high. A patchwork quilted field spreads before me, with xanthic gorse and lavender heather. I imbibe the pastoral scenes I see, thrilling views in such warm golden weather I walk on the verdant hillside for hours, admiring all the flora and fauna, taking photos of scarlet wild flowers then bask in sun like a green iguana! A sight to behold, I view at daybreak; mountains mirrored on a pellucid lake. Nature Scene-Orphan Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsored by Dale Gregory Cozart 6/3/19

What a beautiful description,Jan. Did you make this journey in reality or only in the imagination? You really brought it to life anyway and I shall be definitely making use of 'pellucid' in future. An enjoyable read.
