Dear Spring / Music at Lincoln Center SATURDAY

Saturday, May 6th, 7:30pm

May 4, 2023

Worn tree on a patch of grass overlooking a lake, overlooked by a small mountain. The montain is reflecting the sun, and the sun-mountain is reflected on the lake, creating a diagonal that touches the tree. The sky behind is blue and cloudy. — Near Hannah’s house
