A very hopeful image of nature on another world — but isn’t “red dust” a spring kigo for Mars? Well done!
alan, focusing on both (springs) landed my thoughts closer to earth; the moon, though less colorful, but springier. what an extreme contrast between that arid red planet and the palette-world we take delight in, specially come spring.
