A repost for the challenge! The Gummi The glory of the mountain gum Green and blue and red brown hues How they dance in the setting sun A place of cold clean crisp still air Winter snow and blinding summer ray Just to walk on through will dispel your cares The pitch-black nights, stars shine so near A deafening chorus or deathly silent Wake to frosty morn' so fresh and clear Straight tall timber, canopies thick and green Blots out the sun where rivers run Wilderness, the likes of which man has not seen The Gummi flows fresh and clean Frigid waters teaming with life Meandering through glorious scene Creatures born there wild and free Such majestic beauty, so unique and rare Surely! Must be nature's gift to you and me "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

You have so effectively expressed your love and respect for what must be a Heavenly place to be. What a lovely, descriptive testimonial. Thank you ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Butterfly....You know that you would be most welcomed here. Spread those wings and ride the stars, you'll be here in no time. The beauty is in the land, I merely try to convey it, Thankyou. Claire....There are times when it certainly seems like heaven. I thank you for your far too kind comment. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |
