“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
~OBERON

Hey Robert~ Thank you so much! “A Midsummer Nights Dream” is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays and I couldn’t help but to think of it when was taking this. The original is bright green– but I thought it illustrated this particular quote better in black and white! ❤ … and thanks again! 🙂
