Such a lovely poem full of African strength and the pictures add the lustre Lady Joan. One is indeed transported mentally into nature and can really appreciate this free gift to all of us!
Good luck in the contest and I would think that this is going to be hard to beat!
100% upvote deserved!
So many places I would still love to visit, one thing I do know is in the 70's we could very easily have moved overseas. During the 90's opportunity raised it's head again to move. No I am African, I do not think I could breath not living in the land I love so dearly.
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day.
Hahaha, same here my friend, we stay where our roots are.
But we are the olde guard, as so many of the young people are leaving and one cannot blame them. My own kids included.
Stay well and take care!
