copse

I remember pulling my rental car into the parking lot of a small church tucked away in a copse.

The trench is in a wooded copse, surrounded by fields, a thick canopy of trees provides cover.

Shifa didn’t look convinced but she helped bring in the boat and wedge it under the cliff in a copse of coconut trees.

For years, a neighbor’s copse of sweet gums and oaks would filter the afternoon sun into her dining room.

Around every bend are tiny rewards - a copse of trees with the Olympic rings poking out, a tiny reflecting-pool shrine that exhorts people to “remember here those who gave their lives for peace.”
