Every Day in May 7

This lovely old oak tree near our middle school always catches my eye - it's large hole reminds me of the Charter Oak story (CT) and the lovely soft green foliage just emerging guaranteed it would be a EDMay entry. As usual I do not know what to do in the background ?? I added a dried up oak leaf and acorn found in my front yard. The cycle continues.

Wonderful page! It doesn't need a background: it's just right. Especially with the leaf and acorn pulling us in.

Sandy - this is a beautifully-composed page. The tree is so nicely painted, but that's only one of the things that makes this a treat to look at. Really impressed.

This is such a terrific page. I like EVERYTHING about it. I love how you overlapped the leaf and made it a bit transparent. You have placed everything so nicely on the page with your text, and the tree is beautiful. EXCELLENT!
