Nature

Wild Animals

As far as the eye can see, luscious green ferns adorn, as precious jewels, the grounds of my home.

Feathery, light to the touch, broad in stature, exquisite to behold; ferns are a hardy, prolific native inhabitant of the Pacific Northwest;  as plentiful and dominant to the forest as sand is to the beach.  Though not of any significant economic importance, ferns are like priceless pearls, you could get along without them but the world is a better place because of them.

 Her Majesty

Is there a flower more beautiful than the Rhododendron?
 More prolific and enduring?
More brilliant in color and hue?
I wouldn’t know.
A jewel of nature; a  dominance in my world.
 Regal to the eye,  joy to the soul,  magnificently staged–
Her Majesty the Rhododendron.
I do know.
