within this spring breeze
the flower has transformed
gracing the spring air
Today I experimented with creating animation with Adobe Spark. A fun creation, and I have a ton to learn. What do you think?

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
Blossoms Fading
springtime passing by
now branches filling with leaves
blossom petals shed
I’m noticing the cherry blossoms, oh so recently bursting forth, starting to fall. It is one their beauties, their fragility, their temporary presence. Emergence to vanished is such a short window.
Dusk In Edmonds
such a graceful sight
as sun moves down the mountain
night’s beauty gathers
This is my contribution to the Fandango One Word Challenge for today: “such”. Not the easiest word to create from, I must say.
I took this photo a few days ago along the waterfront of Edmonds, WA, just a short drive from my house. It’s one of my favorite places.
Dandelions

graced with deep tenacity
loved by butterflies
Word of the Day Challenge: Abandoned
troubling my mind
why was this place abandoned?
these lives forgotten
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features the word “abandoned”, which reminded me of all the houses I’ve seen, empty, decaying. I wonder about the lives that were there before. I wonder about what caused these places to be left behind. What joys, sadnesses and pain have faded into oblivion?
Silence With My Tea
dawn glowing golden
flowing over eastern hills
silence with my tea
Spring In The Air
cooling breeze
under bright sunlight
cherry blossoms
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.
On the Edge of Night
on the edge of night
I’m walking beneath the wind
a gentle rain falls
Haiku Response to the FOWC: Disparage
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.
