They tickle the trees.
They massage the mountains.
They make their own music.

Dear Mr. Fantasy
Mountains and lakes, precipitation, forests and rich topsoil. Waterfront business. No street crime. Is it desirable? Is it like your neighborhood?
Don’t pretend.
But I can’t find my way home…
Mountains and Mysteries
Mountains… these dynamic mysteries can only be felt, when your receptors are open.
Correct?
CORRECT!!
If seeing is believing, what is reading?
Urban fantasy? No, landscape fantasy. Fun!
Now please check-out my Kundry Firdaws story: Landscape Libretti. I need the clicks today. Give me a couple likes. It’s a competition. Ten minutes and you’re through. Bob’s your uncle. Costs you nothing.

Swiss National Day
I have just finished an Amazon KDP novella entitled Landscape Libretti and am now on a well-earned vacation in a country (Switzerland) where, as far as I can see, local people are proud of their heritage.
Especially in the agricultural villages at the ends of the roads in the Jungfrau Region where for centuries the local people have managed the forests and pastures in these inspiring Swiss Alp landscapes.
Dancing Clouds
It is easy to connect with nature in landscape like this.
Is it this easy in Morocco? Read Curious Tales. Try it here @ https://amzn.to/3nO2WEG
Dancing? Dancing!
Encapsulates
This photo with the foreground geranium detail, the middleground freshwater lake and the background village, forests and mountain clouds… They encapsulate the Swiss Alp landscape that endlessly inspires me each and every day. Makes writing stories like Tangier Gardens a thrill, a charm. Try the story @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv
April Showers May Flowers
We had April showers and we found May flowers. Modest pleasures. But roses are so much more.
CJ was not so fortunate, but he did find transcendent pleasures in Tangier Gardens. Read a free Amazon sample of my novel–lots of plants, gardens and landscape adventures–via a safe, clean, secure and direct link @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv.
IRL… now
This is a landscape story—a beautiful family moment!
So what is going on here? A young couple is introducing their baby to one of their cows and recording it on camera. Their cow sports a headdress celebrating its return to the valley, home from pastures high up in the mountains—Alpine life.
Simple family pleasures… but only with work, work with the animals, work with the landscape, work with family—very hard work and the result? Beautiful.

Switzerland: The Real Music
Mountains so alive with energy they breathe clouds—in and out… in and out…
Animating so many levels that I can sense… and so many more levels beyond my senses.
Remarkable solar energy exchanges stream through patches of blue sky to electrify the landscape.
With exuberant displays, creeks dance through fields and gush down mountain cliffs exploding with excess energy into bubbling mists of white foam… all the way down… down… down…
To the valley bottom where they join lively white rivers rushing over boulders, winding through steep mixed forests, chartreuse deciduous and deep dark green conifers, rubbing against each other and bursting with an exquisite energy I can feel, I can see, I can hear.
But I can sense the sadness in older people, the farmers, trudging about daily homestead activities burdened with melancholy memories how it was 70 years ago… compared to the invasive, fast moving trains, packed full of ‘bucket-list’ tourists racing on to their next destination before their vacation is over.
And alas, I too, am just one of those tourists… in Switzerland.
But CJ, in Tangier Gardens, Curious Tales, Orient Espresso and Dubai Sands, thought he wasn’t a tourist. Little did he know. Check it out @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv
