Mother, I thank thee for thy life-giving waters
the nurturing fruit
and the cool winds of thy mountains
Mother Earth, who art dark with verdant forestsI bow to thee!

I really enjoy your posts. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletebeautiful lyrics of a song...perfect for all nature's bounties.
ReplyDeletethe waterfall shot is amazing.
So beautiful - both the song and your wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteBautiful song with warm photos! Is that your papaya tree? It looks so lush and full of fruits!
ReplyDeleteThose words are indeed special. So are your photographs. The last photo is so much like the north east. A bounteous crop of tomatoes and papayas. Are they from your garden?
ReplyDeleteSylvia, as usual you are the first with encouraging words. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKatie, welcome, and thanks.
Luna Miranda and Missy, yes, the song is very inspiring.
Malar, that is my friend's papaya tree. Mine is still small.
Kanak, thank you. The tomatoes are from my garden. The forest is in the Western Ghats.
Beautiful photos, though I'm especially drawn to the yummy papaya. Maybe someday I'll be successful in growing that long enough for fruit in my un-tropical climate!
