Backroad in the green

When I saw this photo on Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/photos/forest-pathway-lush-greenery-8684668/ ). 

I had to try to capture the fresh, quiet feel of this backroad. 

My rendition is as much a scene from the backroads in my mind, vague memories of cottage days, spring, fresh air and optimism … easy to dream back in the studio with no mosquitoes, LOL.

Spring Sunlight, Rockliffe Park

Quiet spot in the park. Fresh growth everywhere. The sun was brilliant, gentle on the skin, just warm enough to be comfortable. Everything was bathed in that bright light. In between winter cold and summer hot, it is a time of renewal, optimism and frankly, joy.
