Beautiful post, V.J. Just love this verse.
“Beauty wraps my heart
in dream-filled ecstasy
paints my hope
with shades of love” ❤

VJ, I love the three images you chose to accentuate your words. “The sun serenades my soul.” Terrific end to a wonderful day. Keith

So dreamy all three of your images – and the verse. Beautiful words to beautiful images. The silhouettes standing on the last bridge make the dreaminess even more lovely. Thank you for joining in!
