We discovered the Little Free Library site a few years ago. Karl and I donated copies of Quiet Christmas Poetry to the free libraries in our area. We also gave a copy to our Oostburg Library in town.

Karl’s winter photo of the Lake Michigan beach, several years ago, is the Cover Art for Quiet Christmas Poetry.

And I am grateful for the WordPress.com free photo library.

Art and Nature

As I wrote yesterday, I thought it would be interesting to review images from posts and see how they might work together in new and different ways.

My previous post and new poem, looking at envelopes, leads to some research about vintage images, and a blog collage.
