to bask in nature's blessings

                                                                             Artist David Cox Jr.  (1809–1885)
Image: A Lonely Desolated Moorland (here)

moorland (upland areas in temperate shrublands 
characterised by low-growing vegetation) 

peacefully quiet
greenery kind to the eyes
a reassurance
to bask in nature's blessings
of cleaner air and beauty
(a tanka)

      Wherever possible Lynn, a painting is the first choice if available. Old masters are so refreshing despite being old.

    A gentle tanka in praise of gentle scenery, Hank.
