These photos were shot the other day when the weather was grey and the new leaves of the Oak on our front lawn blew in the 30 mph wind gusts. It’s astonishing that the tender young leaves were still tough enough to hang on and not rip in that rough wind. With the sun just barely shining through the overcast clouds, the effect of their silhouettes is so surreal.

Excerpt of One Sweet World by Songwriter Dave Matthews
Nine planets around the sun,

lay down in our Mother’s arms
Excerpt from “Heaven’s Here On Earth” by Tracy Chapman from her CD, “New Beginnings”:
