Original Art by Katie Croonenberghs

“Morning mist coated the hills, the trees

It filled the air with blanketed ease

As quiet song and forest lullaby

A great spread of wings lifted into the sky

It pulled the mist in tendrils hewn

And ascended the kingdom of mountains high”

Inspired in part by the misty morning landscape of a Washington forest hillside
