Next to purple lake stand purple trees. Unlike most trees, purple trees have chutes that once a year produce fully formed yellow leaves with green branches. On an early spring moonless night the chutes glow translucent mauve and the leaves and branches flow down the chutes and gently rise to attach themselves to bare limbs.
Image a tree in the dead of winter, leafless and bare. Next morning that same tree appears on fire with the most glorious coat of yellow and green foliage. Now imagine the entire woods dressing overnight. Such is the nature of the purple trees near purple lake, which populate the trails just outside our bungalow.
Hey Trée. They make me think of Moses' burning bush experience.
ReplyDeletewow!

is this for real Tre??
Keshi.
Keshi, it's as real as my imagination can make it, as real as the wings on your back, as real as the love I'm sending your way. :-)
ReplyDeleteCiera, how was your Thanksgiving? Hope you had some ice cream with your pumpkin pie. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Trée! My Thanksgiving was ok - my boss didn't get too drunk, soooooo...they only had Redi WHip for the pie.... But - my family celebrated it yesteday and yes I had ice cream ... but not with the pie. I don't think Death by Chocolate would go well with pie! How was yours?
ReplyDeleteCiera, we had a quiet but very nice Thanksgiving day at home. My mother-in-law came over, but other than that, just the family and our four dogs. Still eating turkey leftovers as we speak. Turkey divan is one of our favs and we're eating it for the third time tonight! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very colorful island of yours.
ReplyDeleteSherri, I haven't even gotten to the crystal carrot fields on the southside. :-)
ReplyDeleteOooooh! I can hardly wait! :P
ReplyDeleteHow bout a little passion fruit before we get to the carrot fields. :-)
ReplyDeletemmmm.... will you be joining me for some passion fruit?
ReplyDeleteOh, hon, I'm in the kitchen now working on it. Wouldn't miss it for the world. :-)
ReplyDeletebeautiful, I'm lovin this island of yours :0)
ReplyDeletelol, it's not a bad place to escape to. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll remember that, next time I need to escape this thing called life :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm there quite often, so come and visit some time. Bring some of your friends too. :-)

ReplyDeleteLooks more like the inside of a cocoon with the embryonic butterfly inside. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jack. LSU colors. Let's hope I still want to see them after the game this weekend with Georgia.
