Thank you Dirk. It was really quite a shock to see my daughter in that way.
Beautiful – fine hair vs strong web – nice play.
spring dawn
the sparkles in his hair
and eyes
lines scribed cross time-
this face
with the spiderweb outline
Early spring appear
Spraying sweet aroma
Refreshing

old aches
with the dawn
