Blue Sky, White Cloud, Green Tree...

The sight most pleasing to my eye

is white cloud, green tree, and blue sky.

What more delight might be allowed

than bright blue sky, green tree, white cloud?

And, oh, the flaming green one sees...

when blue and white ignite the trees!

On all the earth, no view more bright

than sky of blue and cloud of white.

Hey, that is one of my favorite sights too! Except I am quite happy without the clouds. I love the deep green set off by the deep blue, and the other way around, too.

Oh how I miss clouds. We get them like that--fluffy, white, and meandering--so rarely. Thanks.

That was beautiful, Sue. As always.

I see it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. It's like that down here today, too. Too nice to be inside!

There is something special about a true blue sky. It feels almost celestial. I appreciate those kinds of blue days.

Wonderful pictures, wonderful poem. You do have the ability to make me feel very humble, just being mother to a woman who is so gifted with talent.

Everything you just said up there? Agreed. Fields of greenery and towering trees against a blue sky just can't ever be beat.

Beautiful! I'll never look at the trees and clouds and skies the same way again.

Glad to hear your son survived the hernias. Ben is pretty miserable today.

That IS a very nice COMBINATION!! I am ready for white clouds to take the place of gray around here. ;D ((HUGS))

Sweet! There is nothing quite like the bluest sky. Especially in central California, where we have many hazy sky days. But when it's blue, can't help but make us happy.

What a beautiful day!! I must say I like the clouds and green trees the best. We see a lot of blue sky around here so a cloud is a change. :-)

Gorgeous. *sigh* I love trees!

I love this time of year- when the trees seem greener and the sky bluer. Maybe it's because I've seen shades of gray for so long.
