I know this town
and it knows me.
I know these streets
and they recognize my steps.
The air here caresses me
and I feel its familiarity.
I know this town
and it knows me.

Yes, great image and the quote reminds me of my years living in a small town. Thinking about it, I had that relationship to the small part of the big city of Los Angeles in which I was raised.
aloha,
thanks for sharing a little bit about your world today, thats a very beautiful tree, it works well with the poem.
That is just gorgeous! I actually got out of the house today and was so pleased with all the dogwoods that are blooming around here.
Wonderful photo and poem. I also thought your header photo was beautiful.
Marvelous words, Mary, and such a beautiful shot! And your header is fabulous! Isn't it wonderful to see colors again!! Hope your week is off to a great start!
Sylvia

Beautiful blossoms. I guess that its a dogwood? I love the poem. It is how I feel about where I live.

Fantastic blossoms - a sure sign of spring!
Wonderful shot and poem.
Lovely post Mary. And the poem -- I guess after traveling for 10 years we are about ready to make ourselves a place like that again!
Your header photo is beautiful -- I wish I could frame it.
