Poem Of The Day

Best Confetti Gifs - Primo Gif - Latest Animated Gifs A26

Salmon skies rise in the peripheral east Steely clouds linger then slowly dissipate Nightfall wanes, as the wide blue canvas brightens Light lifts the mood, on a summer’s day we’ll feast In afternoon’s heated blanket we’re caressed Umbrella blooms shade, mint perfume they release Skin tones burn colors from an artist’s palette, an array of browns from bronze to tawny yeast As mountain trails call, when monarchs migrate As the wide blue canvas brightens, nightfall wanes Steppin' out to engage the dusty trail beast

When ' Salmon skies rise ' and then ' steely clouds linger, ' that's a moment to behold, indeed. A masterpiece that has been created by our Creator. Your thoughts touch my heart, Anaya. We need to be outdoors at different times, so we can embrace the beauty. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Millions of Monarch Butterflies migrate from Canada to Mexico every late summer! Visit Monarch Migration Groves on Multiple Outings. On foot and horseback, enter the remote fir forests of Mexico's Central Highlands, where millions of monarch's roost in protected sanctuaries each winter. Help them ... by leaving out milkweeds' it's a long and hot trail. TY PS administration for the honor of POTD!
