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!

Evening Haiku

This evening’s haiku
between the rain squalls 
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling

After the Rainfall

after the rainfall
droplets gather on petals
sunlight through the clouds

Descending Sunlight


the grace of the sun 
as it descends through the leaves
greeted by flowers

Monday morning haiku

dawn upon the clouds
hints of red within the leaves
gentle morning mists

Today’s Haiku and Graphic

political signs
laying forgotten in the weeds
within autumn rain

Haiku: September 4, 2021

Summer Flower

as the summer fades
at the air somewhat cooler
boldest of flowers

A Cloudy Summer’s Day

a cloudy summer’s day haiku
cloud's gentleness
hints of healing rain
summer's respite

I took this photo this morning after hearing of the possibility of rain. Haven’t seen any yet.

I decided to experiment with animated text. This was created with Canva. What do you think?

Mysteries of the Night

night enveloping

embracing its mysteries

coolness in the air
