your scarlet colors flashing
in palmate maple.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Just beautiful and one of my favorite little birds to watch.
quite apart from anything else, "palmate maple" feels really nice in the mouth. Did you say it aloud?
Ohhh so stunning!
Lovely words, and I adore the picture.
Love the picture, and your words are perfectly complementary

Oooooh spectacular pic and beautiful words to pair with it.
