Roman Courtyard Fountains

Golden flowing honey, sliding through the cracks of the mosaics in the sunny roman courtyard, a crystal fountain of water erupting from the center, bursts of water splashing through the cracks from the center of the earth, giving off a misty spray with the floating shimmering raindrops shining like diamonds in the slanting beams of sunlight, angling through the trees in the forest, which shade the bright noon summer sunlight and muffle the light into golden patches on the moist black mud of the forest floor, patches that sway slightly back and forth as the breeze shifts the leaves in the trees. The ancient trunks of the trees spread out across the earth in winding gripping roots, gnarled knotted wood caked into the mud knowing it belongs there.

You write increasingly about nature.

I really like that.
