Word of the Day Challenge: Habit, A Haiku

walking every day
my delightful new habit
feeling the sunlight

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge is to use the word “Habit”. As one of my key foci in 2021 has been daily walks, this seems a relevant post. This photo is from one my neighborhood parks from a walk this week.

Cherry Blossoms

Winter Haikus

A friend of mine just forwarded me this comic featuring some clever haiku/senryu, and I wanted to share these with you. I find them delightful.

Unfortunately, the creator wasn’t cited in the email. Fortunately, a quick image search turned up “Cul De Sac, the blog of Richard Thompson“. Here’s the link to the original post, from 2010.

A sunny spring day

a day in sunlight
amidst the cherry blossoms
chatty Stellers Jays

On the Edge of Night

Street at dusk

on the edge of night
I’m walking beneath the wind
a gentle rain falls

Springtime’s Glories

springtime’s glories
sunlight moves through the petals
wary of the breeze

Haiku Response to the FOWC: Disparage

Haiku 4-4-21

who can disparage
the wind’s grace within the sky
bird’s dance on the wing

This is my response to the Fandango Word Of The Day Challenge: “disparage”. One of my photos taken earlier this week, image edited in Adobe Spark, font Lora Regular.

Sandra and Woo: A Little Fun With PhotoShop

I’ve long enjoyed the webcomic “Sandra and Woo”. Today the artist posted the following strip:

I found this amusing. However, me being me, I was disappointed that he didn’t create a 3rd solution (Solution C), so I went ahead and did this for him (I love PhotoShop).

I was pretty proud of how quickly I was able to whip this together, getting the font to match and copying/pasting the images over. Anyway, I hope you find it as amusing as I did. And you should definitely go and check out their site.
