Rhapsodies Of Joy

After overnight thunderstorms, mid-morning sunlight filtering through bud time oak canopies brightens woodland aura and splashes springtide warmth across Allée Boisée—a favorite hiking trail. Staccato rhythms of a woodpecker and my footfalls pleasingly complement whispers of wind caressing tree tops. Countless dapples of sun-kissed, silky-smooth spring foliage dance to exquisite solos of birdcalls. Wrapped in stillness between rhapsodies of joy, the living world exhales in a sigh of relief that a quietly heartless and cold winter has called it a day.
