Spring Symphony

A Tautogram for Nature

"Liquid Sunshne" - ©Dana O. Crandell

How about a little bit of Vivaldi to read by?

Wake, wildflowers!

Winter wanes!

Warm winds waft wisteria.

Web weavers work wonders

While winsome, winged warblers whistle, “Welcome!”

This piece is for the Vocal Tautogram Challenge. I thought something upbeat might be in order, in honor of the season! I managed to mess up the title of the photo in the caption, which, of course, should be, "Liquid Sunshine." Who noticed? This photo was taken while doing some macro work after a spring rain in Eureka, California.

If you enjoy the read, please leave a "heart" and a comment.

Thanks for reading!

    I just finished reading your article "Spring Symphony" and I must say, it's a beautiful tribute to nature. The use of tautogram has added a unique and creative touch to the piece. Your words perfectly capture the essence of spring, from the awakening of wildflowers to the melodious chirping of warblers. The photo, "Liquid Sunshine," is breathtaking and perfectly complements the article. I can almost feel the freshness and purity of the rainwater captured in the picture. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece with us. Your love for nature and your ability to express it so beautifully through your writing is truly inspiring. Keep up the good work!

    Love how rejuvenated this makes me feel, just like Spring! Vivaldi was the perfect accompaniment. Love this!
