Backlit, this pussy willow caught my eye while I was running errands the other day. Sunlight glinting off needles and leftover Christmas lights on a hedge in the background created the bokeh with spots of color.

    You have a fun way with words, Micheline!

    I always enjoy your comments. Thank you.

  4. April, is it understandable? In French, my family and I have real fun with words… and I did the same here. Is it suitable for English writing or speaking?

  5. Absolutely, Micheline! The wordplay transcends any particular language, in a delightful way.
