    About this ebook

    Backyard Pretty Thoughts explores the hidden forested feelings behind the shadows of the efflorescent human mind. You'll delve into an introspective view—an abstract world filled with luscious emotion—where nature's subtle and sudden sides embody the modern haiku. Through these pages, Pamela's words shed sunlight on life, love, twisted, fantastical moments, immersing readers out of reality's fences—beyond backyard unknown. This collection will breathe a cloud of fresh air to your lungs.
