thank you

it's spring

which is wonderful

and time

to thank you for stopping by

you are much appreciated

these photos were taken

last week in a garden tucked

near Lone Mountain

in San Francisco

it's really a spectacular place,

Lone Mountain: this is the view

as you approach the top of the hill

right down that hill (on the other side)

the sweet garden bursts into bloom

and clumps of dirt team with sprouts

and spiral tendrils and sprays of white

stars and the promise of something

altogether

new

the tendrils and sprouts, really,

are just as spectacular

as being on the hill that

has a distinct feel of heaven:

it's all in the way we look at it

the fact that you stopped by to

read this is equally wonderful,

and I thank you for that

happy spring
