Now exposed are the "inner awakenings" of the young tender leaves.
A revival, pale and fresh that will gracefully mist over, ever so far.
As a green woven mantle it will clothe the bare and dormant branches,
draping them in cloaks of a flowing and leafy splendor.
Then further robing fields and gardens with abounding hues of "verdant growth."

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
On the sounds of falling rain.
Sleep beautiful seed, sleep.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you;
You are care, and care must keep you.
For you will soon be rising.
Sleep wonderful seed, sleep.
A variation on the lullaby "Golden Slumbers" written by the poet and dramatist, Thomas Dekker
Dormir = to sleep : dormant = lying asleep; latent; inactive

The "pansy" possesses one of the widest "violaceous" color ranges in nature.
These are photos of some of the pansies in my garden this year.
"Save" is Illustration Friday's topic this week.
Use energy wisely.
Keep the earth a safe haven.
SAVE the EARTH for there is only 1.

Save our natural resources for the generations to come.
Sparkling dashes of color surface and dance around here everyday.
One that I am enamored with, is ” Hya Cinth” with her delicate row of petals, fluting out like small tooting horns. She is my newest star in my bunch of sparkles, definitely a subject to paint.
This “Botánica” reminds me of the dainty hyacinth from a bird’s eye view…
…wonderfully fresh, light and airy with seeds of sun and fun!
