Cherry

Spring squill’s blue starlets sparkle the cliff’s stunted turf,
salt in the air as the waves crash below,
sea winds shaking out mental cobwebs,
freshen the face, chafing the cheeks.

And in the nearby Gwaun valley,
symphony of luxuriant foliage,
the smell of Ransoms (wild garlic) stars,
and the bleating of sheep.

[IP: Take a favourite colour, scent, sound and mix them up in a place you cannot go to - and there’s plenty of those at the moment!  Happy blending.]

Some wonderful memories here Rhiannon. They can give us positive feelings of the beauty of nature.

Yes, good when we're rather confined at present to remember past scenes, and the IP's reminder of the mixture of colour, scent and sound was helpful. Thank you. Rhiannon

Very short but very perfect. Nature is certainly wonderful, surely an expression of God !

Thank you, Hilary. Yes, the beauty we see, and the intricate workings when the biochemisty is looked into, all show his skill, his delight in beauty, his care and power to help us and his delight in giving us pleasure in all the beauty around (and though the effects of sin have come and marred, that will be removed too one day!)
