Thanks to @DocAndersen and his latest new challenge he dug up my first post here on Virily. I cannot believe how I posted this poem of mine with the photo on top of a starflower. I cannot find the same photo now but I can tell you I would have posted this differently with many photos. So what I have done is revised my post and made it into a new post with photos that reflect the verses I have written.
I want to color my world,
in the brightest colors.
These gray autumn days,
even the clouds have gone away.
The rain comes sprinkling down,
green apples still upon the apple tree,
I run out and spread my arms,
perhaps dancing in the rain will bring smiles again.
I want to color my world,
in the oranges and reds of sunrise and sunset.
In the bluest hues of a clear sky
and white clouds as they go floating by.
I want to color my world,
through daydreams,
of past springs and summers
and flower-filled meadows.
I want to color my world,
in golden tones,
to remind me of sandy beaches
and white-capped waves.
I want to color my world,
with an unseen paintbrush,
using only my imagination
and make my gray days rainbow bright.
The top photo is of my garden in Riga, Latvia in the spring
Such wonderful words and beautiful photos!
Thank you Ellie that is how I should have done it the first time I posted here but then I guess I was just getting used to the site.
Our perspective often changes with time. It turned out wonderful!
I redid this post because I didn’t like the way I had it done in the first place it does not mean I am going to repost all of my old posts, Grace. Besides, I looked up one of your older posts about lovely bougainvilleas and highlighted you here.

How kind of Doc to recognize you my friend. I was going to and then I saw his post. Amazing to look back right! 🙂
I cannot believe I just put in one photo and left it at that. I know I must have not been used to the site yet when I first posted, Carol.
This is a great remake of the original. Thanks for this. we need to get views from outside Virily so that we keep the site alive.
I redid this the way I would do it today and was amazed that I did not like how I posted this the first time, Doc
we evolve as we grow on a site. I would change so many of my early articles now. This one feels more like the you I know now, so it works.
So beautiful. I travelled to Riga last October. I wanted to meet you there but…
That is interesting October is a lovely time to visit with fall colors coming in. Yes, I was already far from there.
ohhh… i had a problem last October, it was always raining.
Do you really need this promotion? I just checked your profile. You have over 900 posts to your credit and you are doing extremely well here. I would rather shine on my own and both you and me are capable of that.
Take a look at my reply to you up above here. It did not post in the right place @grace
