incense brings morning
blossoms come out of their shells
stretching out last night

Hey, Sangeetha. You’re welcome. Your response is timely. May I ask: I’m struggling, how do I copy the photo you posted? I never know how to do it the right way. Please instruct me if you have time. Thanks.

I just screenshot it on my phone/device, crop and post. Sometimes it doesn’t download because of compatibility.
If all else fails I ask Google God…and invariably there’s a youtube video that answers my untechsavvy prayers

Thanks for coming to my assistance. Sometimes this step takes me much longer than it should. Most times it discourages me from posting because screenshots end up being too large.
Anyway, I completed it. Thanks for your help. Now I’m going to bed. Have a gorgeous day today. Or good night to you as well. Happy spring.

Oh, my goodness! What a wonderful week for you! Bravo… keep writing… that is all there is. LOL! I have to ask about “Tilini.” Does that mean cherry blossom and is that what the tree is? In America, we’re going into Autumn so you must be going into your spring. This is a stunning photo! ❤

It has been a wonderful week 😁 I’d gone on a trek in the Himalayas and this flower (I too thought it looks like cherry blossoms) in local language is called Tilini. It maybe some kind of apricot. Thank you Colleen for your encouragement 🙂
