Capers and Olives

With visitors and a very nasty stomach bug making its way through the family (only my husband and the middle child left standing). I am  going to have to bow out of this weeks corner view.

I am however  including a wee response to the lovely Carmel Carmelo's  tree post,

 a little spring tree I saw recently here on the island. Sadly I do not know its name.

There is something so tender and pure about a young flowering tree, 

not so unlike the sweet flutterings and joy of first love. 

Breath

by J. Daniel Beaudry

Tree, gather up my thoughts
like the clouds in your branches.
Draw up my soul
like the waters in your root.


In the arteries of your trunk
bring me together.
Through your leaves
breathe out the sky.


I would like to pass on of love and trees de l'amour et des arbres
to Maia of Un Envie del sel .
