Excellent

A succinct and thoughtful poem. The natural setting and the pictures enhance the general feel of the poetry. It hits all the buttons for nature poetry. Thank you for sharing.

It's no wonder you're happy there if it looks like that. This is a lovely minute poem and the photos are exquisite. Good luck in the contest. This would have made an excellent entry also in the take a walk contest if you had taken the photos. Well done!

I don't think I could be happier anywhere else, it's just lovely here. I'll be taking my camera in future! I didn't see the other contest. Thanks so much for your lovely comments, Brenda, I'm so pleased you enjoyed reading about my walk. I'm going to write more and then put them into a book of nature poems. It's going to be my next project! Warm hugs, my friend. :))

This is a beautiful minute poem about the beauty and wonder of nature, giving glory and thanks to God for these blessings. The wildlife photos are truly captivating. I hope that you will take photos near your new home and share them as soon as you are able to, so we can all enjoy their beauty and see how amazing they are.

Thank you, Mary Kay, for reading my poem and the really lovely review you gave me. I'm delighted you enjoyed it. I intend to take my camera from now on, and then write about the beauty I see. Isn't nature lovely? Thank you for the good luck wishes, that's so kind of you. Warm hugs my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Sandra:

I really like how you interspersed these pictures with the verses of your minute poem. Do you have to do that in a document then copy and paste it into the fanstory page? Living near this type of environment really is a special thing, isn't it? Good luck in the contest.

Hi Jan, yes, just write your poem and add your pictures where you want them to be at the same time, then before you copy and paste them over, make sure you are in ADVANCED mode and then use
'ctrl V' to paste them over. It's so simple. I did it by accident a year or so ago and couldn't believe it and did it again! lol. Thank you so much for the lovely review, and the good luck wishes. I really appreciate that. Warm hugs. Sandra xx

Thank you so much, Ralf. I saw the deer two days ago, and wished I'd had my camera with me. I will be taking it on every walk in future. Thanks so much for the lovely review, my friend, and the goodluck wishes!! :)) Sandra xxx

Doesn't living in the country just making you happier than city life? I have been here three years (of course, I lived here as a kid too), but every night I can't help but feel special when it's so quiet... just the river drifting by, the stars above, and me. I am so happy that you found your special place... We all deserve those moments.

Smiles and hugs....
Love ya, my dear friend
Always, Carol

I can't agree with you more, Carol. I'm going to take my camera with me in future, I just get this immense feeling of peace come over when we go for our daily walks. I just feel as if I've come home, if that makes sense. I'm so pleased you are in a similar place and can feel the specialness. You deserve it. Thank you so much, my dear friend, for your lovely, sweet words. Sending you much love and a humongous hug back. :)) Sandra xxx
