Be the girl,
who is spellbound by..
an oriole on an agave bloom,
a hummingbird on a pine top,
a honeybee on an encelia.
By foggy, surreal mornings.
By the crackling log in a fireplace.
By the sepia sunset,
a distant island in the ocean,
the silhouette of lanky palms.
By distant blue hills
and autumnal oaks.
You will never be sad —
not for long.
For in the next glance,
nature has
its magic spectacles
to cheer you.

I love nature I love being near the sea also ♦️♦️♦️
Nature is beautiful to look at and peaceful…I am not an outside girly either…I hate bugs and grass on occasions. But I love how you describe it in your poem.
I'm not a nature or outdoor person so I couldn't relate to this. But as always, I loved your photo and poem
I always feel happiest when I'm in nature.
Nature's beauty is amazing. I love watching sunsets like the one described here.
