From above on rocky hill I see green trees below me. The wind blows as it wildly will Far above this rocky hill. Distant curves of mountains fill Horizons blue like wavy sea. From above on rocky hill So many trees below me.
Linked to dVerse Quadrille where De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) is hosting with the word “fill”.
Also linked to The Cosmic Photo Challenge with the theme “From Above”.
Also linked to Trent P. McDonald’s The Weekly Smile. My smile this week comes from the memories of Palmer’s Park in Colorado Springs and the many hours spent walking there.

That looks like a wonderful place to walk.

I’ve hiked in that area during two business meetings, but they were scripted “leisure events” – I’d love to go back when I could explore on my own.
