Little theme based on a children's poem by James Reeves - 'Slowly'. In a former existence I used a lot of poems from a book called 'A Puffin Quartet of Poets' with young children. This was a good wind down from the louder, quicker ones - to get ready for other things. Two versions for the first couple of lines: This one...

Issabella - love the flowing text around the moon - reminds me of the trails left by aeroplanes. Scarey bird!

Beautiful love the colors and the texture

The texture really brings the image to life somehow Issabella.

Think the sentiment is one that a lot of people all over the world may be hoping comes true this year...

You are right Skinnyhouse. I wish the same. Thanks. :bigthup

Issabella, very beautiful.

Looks like inspiration is riding high across your computer Issabella. I can almost smell the countryside in those images. Not used text with capital letters really - but yours have turned out really well. Makes me want to re-visit the 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness'.

Pat: Super composition!

Fantastic colours in those leaves - almost makes the waning of summer in the Northern hemisphere worth it. Almost!

Memories of childhood schooldays...
...found myself humming the tune to this today. Where did that come from?
