Seven Wonders of BC In Our Own Backyard

Ocean spray shadows/ keeping time to wind music/ on white stucco wall

The feel of dewy/ night-cooled grass licking bare feet/ on dawn garden stroll

The sight of sunshine/ sliding down, glistening up/ just washed tomato

Bronzed arbutus bark/ crackling away from tree trunk/ tumbling lightly
down

Bevy of bushtits/ snuggled along a tree branch/ one backward facing

Wind-blown laundry/ snapping crisply on clothesline/ exclaiming dryness

Uncommon thunder/ catching breath, raising eyebrows/ memory of elsewhere
