Scents
Silver Lake Park, 3 Rivers District | MN 2012
As I walk around the park, with my furry companion
We pass the trees that have new blooms
I wish I knew the name of the trees
The blooms are so fragrant
I am drawn to the nearest branch
where Spring fills the senses

Her flanks seasoned with the weather

plays to the old oak
as it tips and sways
