Kala,
Lots of graceful action in L2 and L3.
And the blossoms as a backdrop reverberate Spring in the park.
Well Done.

Thanks a ton, Jen
Happy you like this ku :))
An action-packed spring day beautifully caught, Kala! The dog leap-curves upwards, towards the gliding frisbee, and I can see some petals spiraling downwards. The shapes match, yet with the inherent differences.
Thanks, Padma.
Wow! Beautiful comment.

__ In your painting Kala, among your blossoms, I imagined a hummingbird that quickly evaded that frisbee's flight. A minimal echo, _m:
hummingbird
escapes this spinning frisbee
a dog's bark
Thanks, Magyar …
I like your ku, too.
Beautifully 'drawn' …
Thanks a lot, Jane Williams.
