Very, very good Jenny ! Great colours and windy tree and being a Sheep " person" love those baa baahs 😍

Many thanks, Petra and Richard! (Yes, I’m definitely a ‘sheep person’ as well - nice to be able to include them in this one!)

Oh this is good Jenny. It has impact in monochrome and translates the poem beautifully.
