In the summer night
The evening still seems present,
But the dawn is here.
To what region of the clouds
Has the wandering moon come home?

a spring photo walk

The sweet smell of the south wind can calm the tempers of my people.

The sweet rain of the south wind can nourish the grain-fields of my people.

making the park
a vacation spot…
