Thanks. I did manage to find the right photo that closely matches the place I was writing about.

Your magical description makes me long for a place like the one you spent your childhood in. I have a fascination with trees and woods. This poem makes my day. I can't have enough of forests n trees. Thanku for sharing Barry.
I am so glad you liked it. I wish I could go back to that very spot but Florida is my home now.
