Morning Eye Candy: Trees in the Garden

Posted in Photography on April 24 2013, by Ann Rafalko

prunus-mume

And the ghostly, creamy colored little tree of leaves
white, ivory white among the rambling greens
how evanescent, variegated eider, she hesitates on the green grass
as if, in another moment, she would disappear
with all her grace of foam!

Trees in the Garden ~ D.H. Lawrence

Special thanks to the Academy of American Poets who suggested, through their Twitter account, a number of resources for finding your own favorite poem about nature or flowers.
