Silver leaved acacia and the golden elm

The little butterfly flitting from tree to tree

On this warm autumn afternoon

O how delightful to see

Your handiwork around the garden.

Little Yellow Bird

 

The little yellow bird

Flitting from bush to bush

In the garden.

 

 

Landscape Of Colour

 

Brown ducks and black swans

Gliding along the lake,

In the green botanic park,

A patch of yellow golden daffodils

And a rose bush garden nearby

A landscape of colour in nature.
