    Wow, that image is like nature overload. There's the hammock between trees and the flowers, the sunset, a lake, a swan and even a vee of geese! All it needs is a snowflake-or-two to encompass all of the four seasons!

    It is a gorgeous image though, and I know you'll get plenty great entries to the contest!

    I've used this same picture on quite a few of my poems. My nickname is Swanee. Unfortunately, I don't know who the painter is. I hope you get a lot of great entries. Be well, Poets. Wanda
