Spring Symphony
A Tautogram for Nature
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!

Awesome!!!💖💕
What a beautiful bit of spring which we so need 🪻🌹🌻🌸 Love the music and photography as well as your lovely poem ❤️
Oh my, I'm so conflicted! I don't know which is more beautiful, your Tautogram or your photo! Breathtaking!
Very nice.
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!
This is beautiful, Dana! "Web weavers work wonders" SO perfect! I totally felt spring! Your macro is gorgeous! Love the dewdrops and the detail in the pollen. SO perfect- and great choice of music as well!
This poem beautifully describes the arrival of spring with its blooming flowers, warm winds, busy spiders, and cheerful birdsong.💗💗💗
Love how rejuvenated this makes me feel, just like Spring! Vivaldi was the perfect accompaniment. Love this!
Wisteria! 💜 I can smell it now. I love the picture of the daisies too.
Purty nice buddy, 😀
