Colours while walking on a beach

The vivid color red in nature always connects with some memories. 

This time Emily Dickinson's poem "Nature" tells the story.  

. . . . . . . . .

I got your letter, and the bird’s; 

The maples never knew 

That you were coming,—I declare, 

How red their faces grew! 

But, March, forgive me— 

And all those hills 

You left for me to hue; 

There was no purple suitable, 

You took it all with you.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Sending you lots of love from South Africa
