as the water beads
flowing across the petals
rains drift westward

Today’s Haiku Challenge: Jasmine
hints of jasmine
linger in my memory
intense yet hazy
This haiku is my contribution to today’s “haiku challenge” on Twitter.
I’ve been contributing to this for years. It’s one of my favorite parts of Twitter. As the Musk saga devolves, it’s what keeps me coming back. There a delightful community surrounding the challenge.
The image was crafted with Adobe Express using the Lara font.
Ghosts Of My Dreams
these ghosts of my dreams wandering amidst echoes lost in the sunlight
This is my first exploration into Adobe’s Express beta. I think they’ve done a great job with the UI. It’s a smooth and straightforward, to me at least. Express doesn’t go to deep into the Adobe way of doing things, which works fine for your devotees, but is not terribly intuitive for the uninitiated. Anyway, it might well replace my dependence on Canva.
Some Design Work
I spent the day editing a video for distribution on social channels. I do love that kind of work. This image is one of the thumbnails I created on Canva. It boggles my mind how quickly I can create something like this. I have many memories of using Photoshop for such things. I love living in the future!
Tranquil Moments
under the sunlight
crows relaxing with their friends
such tranquil moments
Ferry At Golden Hour
descending sunlight embraces golden hour facing the sunset
As Dusk Progresses
as dusk progresses
the moonlight's grace emerges
while I gaze skywards
This photo was taken with my Samsung S22. I am often amazed at what I can shoot with a phone camera nowadays.
Sunday Flower
slowly opening sunlight hidden by the clouds such gentle motion
Evening Haiku
between the rain squalls
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling
After the rainfall
after the rain squall
laden branches bent downwards
gravity's demands
