This is how the river is framed by a blossoming tree before rain.

And, this is how a fresh water brook holds a blossom afloat when it falls from a hardwood in bloom. 

This is how, beside wetlands, a fern fiddles in grass.

And this is how bark in all colors of trees softens and crumbles in swamp.
