THE RETURN OF THE GREEN

At our latitude

This is the week the trees are come into leaf.

The best week

Of the fifty-two.


Photo: an Arbutus tree? on Savary Island* Taken last September as described here.

*Captain George Vancouver records in his journal for June 1792 that he sailed past an island off the B.C. coast "having beauty such as we have seldom enjoyed", which he named Savary's Island. Maybe it reminded him of home?
